Gauge light bulds replacement!

Hi Guys!
I got some troubles with taking off the dashkit which covers the gauges. I could take the dashkit at the vents but when I got closer to the gauge then I got stuck. I unscewed the 2 screws at the top and tried to pull harder, but I heard "crack" then I stopped.

Would some one help me this?

Thanks in advance!

Lower your steering column and you will see rubber flaps. Lift the flap up and there you will see more screws. I think there's two more under there. You might have cracked the tabs that held it there. No big issues at all. Mine was cracked when i got the car without knowing it until i changed out my dash lights. Hope this helps!

There are 2 more screw that you missed. You have to lower the steering wheel and lift up the rubber thing there to reveal the screws. After that you can remove it but be careful to not break the vents and if you do then that is nothing a little superglue can fix.

DAMN! The bulbs I bought aint fit the things in the gauge. I had to buff them a little bit. They are 12V, and I saw the stock one just 2V. So, My gauge is dim now. SADDDDDDD!

If you do a search there is a DIY on it. Try searching cluster removal. I know for a fact that there is a DIY on it but I can't remember what it is called.
