Guys,
Stock lighting is in fact incandescent bulbs NOT LED lights. I was converting to LED lights in order to customize the colors.
I am sorry, but I don't have "Step-by-step" directions on how to dismantle the lower dash in order to get the cluster out. The service manual covers it, but pretty large steps that are somewhat vague.
Basically at each major step, take out the screws that you need to get that section, loose, or out. I got in from work late and have no inclination to go step-by-step with my camera and or video camera to record every step.
Sorry...
