there are 2 screws on the top... near the plastic
remove those, and bull the black trim piece out... it is held on by clips.
then there are 4 screws that hold the cluster in place.
remove those, and the cluster chould be able to come out.

If you disconnect the cluster harness, DO not start the car without plugging it back in.

if you do a search... you should find a thread with pictures.

OK, I'm disregarding the gauge face crap, is it possible to change my gauge cluster? I like the ones in the new accords, they're bright and easy to read, will those be compatible with my accord? I mean the whole gauge cluster? Thanks guys.

Don't put indiglo gauges on. Waste of money. I had them for 2 years and they peeled up and I got sick of them after like a month. But it's your car...I ended up throwing the whole pod out and buying the 01-02 Coupe V6 gauges with the red needles and graphite faces. Much nicer.
