the underlørd Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 take off the dash cover. (search for "dash") then unclip the gauge cluster, and unplug the wire harnesses, then you have to take off the big black plastic box, and then unclip the plastic gauge cover, then take out the two screws per individual gauges, and gently pull them out, and put the new R gauges in. here's some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox2112 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 is the driver side of the dash supposed to be the only side that really moves when you take out all the screws? i couldnt get the plastic off the front so i just swaped the board from my C70 into the V70r cluster...that will work correct? all thats left is getting the clips back on...i cant figure out how to get them back on ...then comes the fun part putting the dash back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
