First remove the 2 screws that hold the plastic bezel in and pull that out. Then there are 4 screws that hold the gauge cluster in. Remove them and then simply pull the cluster out. The little black and grey plastic twisty things are the bulbs. Simply turn them and pull them out emoji

EDIT: BTW, don't bother with blue bulbs, they fade very fast. Go here: http://autolumination.com/194_marker.html and order the #74 blue LED bulbs!

and dont forget you have to sand your stock gauges, they are what make the light orange

and don't forget LED's are biased so you need to check the polarity when installing them or they won't turn on. if not you've got a 50/50 chance of getting each bulb right if you just guess so maybe the cluster will partially light up emoji
