What kind of faces are you putting on? I wouldn't touch the needles AT ALL, becuase it could mess up the calibration

whoa whoa whoa, you don't need to take the faces off to get to the bulbs...
look on the back of the cluster, you should see five brown receptors. they will turn left and come right out. that's how you change your bulbs. They should be the bigger receptors holding 194 bulbs.

what you do is, is pull the cluster out like, an inch, and pivot it toward you (like fold it down), you should then have access to the back of the cluster

Did you take out all 4 screws holding in the cluster? If so, it should come out enough to fold down.

Tools Needed: Phillips head screw driver
Step 1: Take off the plastic pieces surrounding the steering column. (4 or 6 screws on the underside of the piece.) Step 2: remove the black plastic piece surrounding the cluster (the piece with the "SECURITY" light on it.) (4 or 6 screws, easy to see if you get low, and look up. Step 3: Wiggle the place piece out. It might seem kinda stuck in there, but if you wiggle it enough, it will come out. Step 4: Unclip the "SECURITY" light harness. Step 5: You should see 4 screws holding the cluster in place, (two on the top, two on the bottom), remove them Step 6: Wiggle the cluster out about an inch or two, and fold/pivot down the cluster towards you. At this point, you should be able to get to the bulb receptors holding 5, 194 bulbs. Step 6.5: If you want more room to work, just unclip the harnesses holding in the cluster and take it out all together, but this is not neccessary. Step 7: Go in reverse and put everything back together.
