the plastic dash panel is fused together with melted plastic rivets from the factory... not meant to be opened.

i would use an air compressor with a blow nozzle and attempt to push air threw the reset trip-o-meter opening/clock **** and move the bugs to a different location out of view.

be sure to make sure the compressor is free of any water in the bottom of the tank... no added moisture needed.

I like the compressor idea. Try this one, it uses the compressor too. Get a vacuum cleaner with the narrow tip attachment, place it over one opening and the then the compressor over the other. Turn both units on and wallah! That should force their dead little bodies out. Let me know if it works.

Hi, I recommend you to go to a computer store and buy a can of compressed air, its dry, clean and hi press and it is for electronics.

If none of the above ideas work you could just give them names....you'll probably be driving them around for a while.

How old is the car? Can you get the cluster replaced under warranty? If it is truly sealed then you shouldn't have gotten them in there in the 1st place.
