Um, I dont know I taught myself how to remove my cluster and break it down. I had an old cluster from a wrecked accord and used it .
You will have to look for the screws to remove the dash trim so that you can get to the cluster. Then follow these steps.
***Note Ihave a 4th gen but should be the same process***
On each side of the cluster ther will be screws holding it in. 4 total.
Unplug all wire harness, be sure to check the back of the cluster.
Gently slide and work cluster out of dash. (this may take a little twisting and turning)
The CLEAR cover should be snaped into place. Push in onthe tabs holding it on and gently remove the cover.
remove the needles. the nedels are easy to remove but you have to be easy. they just pop off if you do it easy. dont go tryingto rip them off or they WILL break. then your fawked.
There will be littel tiny screws holdng the guadge face to the cluster. CAREFULY remove the screwas and the face.
Replace with new face and reverse to put back together.
Good luck. if you have any questions PM me :thumbup:

If you want them let me know what colors you want. Im going to print some new faces soon. I'll figure out a price if your interested.

is a white illumination possible?
they look really nice, and i've been looking for a way to make custom gauges for a long time. i just can't figure out how to make them light up like LED or indiglow gauges

i believe they're complete replacements for the stock gauges so they would light up the same as OEM...you just remove the OEM ones and put these in their place unlike overlays
