I might try pulling mine out tomorrow to take a peak at some things behind there. Been wanting to run my Radar LED lights to a spot in the actual gauge cluster. Probably wont due the radar tomorrow, but wouldnt mind pulling it apart to see if its possible.

If you have pulled it, how bad was it? I do mobile install for a living, but figured Id asked before I jumped into it just to look.

Jemdawg wrecked his gauge cluster pulling it apart. Be EXTREMELY careful!

If you pull it out, you should check if it would be easy to change the illumination color.

That's exactly what Jemdawg took it apart to do. Turns out the illumination is provided by small, integrated LEDs. From what he was saying, trying to swap them out would be futile.

Futile...that word always reminds me of Star Trek.
