'03 Malibu Cluster removal
Anyone taken their instrument cluster out? I see the two screws above the gauges...but what's holding the rest of the fake wood in?? Gentle pulling get it done? Anywhere in particular to pull to avoid breaking anything??
Thanks! |

I found it easier to start at the passenger end. Besides the two screws above the gauges, the rest is snapped in. I just worked my way down and it came out easily. Don't yank though, because you will need to unplug the hazard switch and the dimmer/foglight switch also.

When you get it out, what size lamp fits in the guage panel anyway? I've got a dead one that needs changing out. Those LEDs look tempting... |

Wow....haven't been here in a while....
I did get my cluster out...no prob. I installed one of those aluminum bezels on the gauges. Looks good! Took maybe 30 minutes total. Airbag is still there...LOL! you dont have to screw with the wheel at all to get the cluster out. Later.... |

From what I understand you can't just pick up those bulbs from your local automotive store, you have to get them from the dealer or a used parts place.
