EVO IX Gauge Cluster.(bolsen mod)

Hey everyone,

after countless searches and asking bolsen himself I am still left with no answer. Im hoping someone here can chime in and help. I have been wanting to make my evo IX gauges brighter but removing the cluster than taking the condoms off of the bulbs. BUT, there are two wiring harness's on the back of the cluster that I cant seem to get off, they are to deep in to get a good grip with your fingers. And im afraid to just pull on them by the wires because i don't wannt rip out a wire. Is there something I'm not seeing, somekinda clip or release button?

thanks guys, sorry if this question has been asked.

Buy a Evo manual.....shows you eveything you need to know, even where the harness clips are.

I cant remember for sure but I think I didnt even unplug the cluster when I took them off. I think I just reached back there and took the bulbs out.

In the bolsem mod it says you have to take it completely out inorder to unscrew the back. I can't seem to find any kind of release clip

there is a locking clip on the top of each of them. push down on them and they go right out.

You dont even need to pull it all the out. You can just bring it out enough to stick your hand and twist out the bulbs. Thats what I did...
