its pretty easy...
1. lower the steering column and remove 2 screws under the top of the bezel.
2. carefully pull the bezel toward you to remove it.
3. now the guage cluster will be exposed. there is one screw on the top center, and one screw on each end. a magnetic tip screwdriver would help so you don't drop the two on the sides.
4. reach behind the cluster and remove the plugs (should be 3 or 4).
now your bulbs will be readily accessible. installation is the reverse of the removal.

I'm interested to know how this would work, You do have the steering column to deal with, along with almost no space on either side of the cluster to begin with.

If you have tilt then it gives quite a bit of room.

This is just the plastic trim that we are pulling on, i also found pulling from the bottom was a little easier. I pulled mine apart with out having any idea of how this came apart and I found it pretty easy.

Eight fingers on top of the bottom part and two thumbs between the bottom of the bezel and the column. Pull. At least it works well with EKs. Been a while for me taking out the bezel of an Integra.

the way i usually do it is to tug the bottom of the bezel out so the clips come out, and then i can squeeze down from the top to get the top loose, and then it comes out easy.

stock clusters look so much better than indiglo... my experience many many moons ago with those were; the indiglo panels never hold up, so a year or so down the line and your needle will just end up getting caught on it... it left a film that i can't get off my stock cluster and it's bright and distracting after awhile... kinda lights up your face like an alien while driving... just a thought

Agreed , I was into indiglo's many years ago (don't know why). In my experience the needle/needles will get stuck or one or more of the indiglo faces burn out. I know I liked the look of the white face gauges but at night that thing was soooo bright!

Anyways, taking out the cluster is cake. The harder part is getting off the clear plastic and black pastic off without cracking it. If you take your time your golden. When taking off the clear plastic I always start at the bottom and push up the three tabs then move to the top ones. If you push each one down just enough the entire thing pops right off. If you start and the top then try to work the bottom ones is where I found where it cracks, or breaks the tabs.

The black housing for the gauges, just remember to unscrew the 3 screws that are inset in the back and your good to go. I also wear latex gloves when messing with the gauge cluster because the oil from your hands really sticks to the gauge faces. If you try to use cleaning solvent to wipe it off if streaks and is very noticeable.

Climate control... now that ones a bitch.
