01 LED Cluster... HELP!

I have a 2001 Ex Coupe, I want to change the lighting and faceplate on my instrument panel/speedometer but I have no idea where to even start, if you know how to remove it and replace the lights, please let me know!

My 02 ex cluster, its an overlay I bought off ebay, and LED bulbs for the needles, which I cleared the orange off with rubbing alcohol and painted the backs white with paint markers. It was a royal pain in the ***, if I do say so myself..

Re: 01 LED Cluster... HELP!

search for it man, there a dozens of posts on this.

What you wanna do is swap the cluster to an 03-05 LED cluster... dont try to modify your stock cluster, its too much work and wont look professional in the end.
