the stupid bulbs would no come out, i ended up busting them and pulling them out that way. The speedo should take about 30 minutes, i hope.

90 degree or 120 degree wide angle? They list both.

I've did the Blue lights in the gauges takes around 30 minutes and looks good. Go for the 120degree helps your needles show up better. Photo makes it look like the left side isn't lit up fyi.

take of the two bolts then there are four after the bezel comes off, them pull on it. It is connected to a connector. Just pull hard and it will pop out.

***TIP***

If you have trouble taking the socket out of the rear of the gauge cluster, take a small adjustable wrench and twist the back of the socket.
