Step 2: Order 6 Twist Lock Connectors
Twist Locks
Step 3: Take Dash Bezel Off


Step 4: Unscrew 4 7mm bolts holding cluster in the dash.

Step 5: Remove Gauges and unplug Harness.


Step 6: Use a small Flat Screw Driver to pop the clips off the gauge backing.


Step 7: Locate 6 bulb plugs, and Remove


Step 8: Plug new LEDS and new Twist locks
Before reassembling, make sure you plug the harness back into the cluster to make sure all lights are functional. Some LEDs have to plugged into the socket one way only or they will not work. If you have any that are not functional, just turn the bulb 180 degrees in the twist lock and it should work.

Its easiest to do this right before sunset, or else you will have a hard time seeing the lights during the day.

 

Thats cool man, looks nice and you provided really good info. Thanx. I will be doing this before too long.

 

I always wanted to do that with my 99. I love the looks of just one color at night. Anything out for the 03+ clusters?

 

There is no way to do it with the 03+

 

Makes me want a new set of factory gauges insteas ot the white ones I have.

 

Outstanding work! I love the results!

 

good write up and pics... very helpful information

thanks..

 

That looks really good, nice write up too!

 

Will swapping to the Escalade gauges in a truck with a 5-speed trans. work?

 

i would be all over this if it was easier to change the bulbs in the OEM radio and A/C controls.

also, everyone should know that the dimmer switch will not work after this mod(will still work for radio and A/C). no biggy to me but just so it dosent suprise anyone planing this mod
