Twist & pull, ..., super-easy.
Buy the LEDs that fit into the stock receptacles, & push & twist back in.
Macewen Gauges webpages shows LED's for sale also.

The gauges are very nice, it is just a small issue that bugs me about them. Its not a big deal for most

That comes down to installation. Sometimes we had a bad die cut but now all done in house so it just comes down to you putting it on in the right place (we make the factory pin holes oblonged now so you can adjust for factory discrepancies)...

Holy crap! I had no idea the guage cluster was that easy to get out! And here I'm thinking you have to take out the whole dashboard.
