Didn't see where this would fit in Tech..But I have obtained a dead bug inside the instrument cluster just under the odometer. Are these sealed like on the older cars or can I just take the front off and get it out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

No ideas?

 

Get a really big hammer...

If it could get in then you can get it out. Look for holes or remove the whole gauge assembly and perhaps try to gently pry off the plastic so that you can just dump it out. You may want to try asking someone who's replaced or sprayed their gauges via PM or something. It seems they're just not seeing the thread.

 

BUMP!!! I really need help on this all....Maybe someone had installed guage faces or something?

 

try PM ing liquidlancer, as i saw he painted his so he had to be able to get in there....make sure you post how to do it if you find out how.

 

yea the same thing happened to me but theres a bus stuck in my left tail light. its been there so long i named it blacky!

 

Schoolbus or greyhound?

 

hey guys whats up,

3 there are two philips screws on your dash, there up underneth, take thoes out
4 take the outside trim piece off, it just snaps in
5 remove the gold 3 screws that hold the gauges in, be careful not to scratch the plastic
6 remove and unplug the gauge cluster *you will have to play with the cluster to get it out, be careful not to scratch anything*
7 the "glass" is snaped in, all you have to do is snap it off, its pretty easy.
8 installation is reverse


i hope this helps, just be careful, but if you blow something or you car catches on fire its not my fault =)

Thanks Link. I'll try that in the morning
Thanks for all the help everyone.

 

It's not hard at all to take it out. I took my ES gauges and put the OZ one on.

 

any one know if I can get Indiglo guages for my oz rally...i hate the red that lights up at night..it sux :
and it dont match my blue neons under the dash or under the seat not to mention my hot wirez that are lining the dash..next I want one of these that lights up in red to put on my steering wheel and front grill

 

OZ Rally- you should talk to dem1k here on the forums, his gauge lights are really nice, maybe you should do a little something like his, because you want be able to get rid of the red, the needles are made of a red material. good luck!!
