Things you will need:
- Flat head screw driver
- Philips screw driver

first an overveiw of the dash, the 2 circles are the two main peices to remove in order to get at the gauges.

1- the first step is to get a philips screw driver and take out the screw that is exageratted in the picture, you could take out all three but i found that the one worked just fine.

2- The next step is to grab the flat head screwdriver and place in between the turn signal switch and the steering column cover like in the picture (labeled A), then turn like a key in both directions so the 2 halves (labled B) POP out of place. repeat for other side as well

3- next lift the steering column cover up and toward you a little, dont yank on it, make sure everything is popped out, in the back right section of this a peice lingers down, make sure it to is popped out (couldnt get a decent pic of that sorry)

4- ok this is just advice, cause i almost did it. the two tabs (labeled A) are just there to hold a rubber cover flap. dont press or bend these, they dont do anything but hold that flap on. instead use your fingers, not a screwdriver might scratch the plastic, and pull this rather large pwice out (labeled B) it POP's right out.

5- now you are pretty much there! just undo the 3 screws that are cirlced and there ya have it the dash, make sure you undo all the clips that secure the plastic cover on and the needles, silver circles, all that just POP's right off, be careful though dont yank on it.

if you guys have any more questions just let me know!

To my understanding, that is just to remove the plastic cover... I think that after you take that piece off, you have to unscrew the base and pop it open, and there is whene i get stuck. If the precedure can be put in pictures, I would really appreciate it.

There is one screw to my understanding. It just does not pop out. The whole purpose is to change the bulb to blue leds. But I got stuck and instead replace the rear license plate bulbs.

This is a how-to-doit-yourself removing the dash components. In a nut shell, this is a follow-up on the thread http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/327717
which topic is: "i got blue lights on my dash"

btw i guaranty you my 12" L7 gets 5 times louder because the box isn't a POS prefab, and i redid all my electrical

i highly doubt your louder than me, hit 146.8 DB at the last sound off on a termlab, if you know what that is
