You just swap them, no additional parts needed. Takes less than 15 minutes.

you don't really need instructions...

pull the three hvac knobs off...undo the two screws behind them

pull the radio/hvac plate off

two screws vertically that hold the lower cubby in place...remove them

pull the lower cubby out

undo the screws you see and unplug all the connections

swap the two

voilaaaaaaaaaa

IIRC, there's an illustrated tutorial in either the Advanced or the How-to sections. I used it back in 06 to flip mine around.

If you can't figure out how to swap your MR gauges and your radio, god help you if you decide to install your own parts on your car.

Seriously, it's as easy as chaotic said.

Quite simple, pinch your thumb and index finger together and pull the knobs off you will see how easy it is. if you are stumped as of that point, pay someone to do it.
