Step 1: Go to the Auto Parts store and get a Haynes Manual. Everyone should have some sort of shop manual for their car.
Step 2: Open the book to the interior section and find the part about replacing your guages.
Incase you missed step 1 I will tell you how.
First you need to remove the trim ring with the cig lighter and headlight switch. To do this you need to first remove the headlight ****. Take out the blank plate under the ****, shine your light in there and at the bottom of the headlight asembly there is a pin with a spring on it. Pull out so the headlights are on, then push in the pin and the **** and shaft will come out.\
With that out of the way you need to take off the lower dash cover. I believe they are torx bits. Once that is off you can reach the 2 bolts that hold the plastic trim off. Remove those and disconect the cig and defrost wiring.
Now you should be able to see the bolts that hold the clear plastic onto the actuall guage cluster. Since you are just doing white faced and not glowing you wont need to pull the cluster out. Just undo the screws that hold the clear plastic and maybe 2 more that hold the grey trim on and you can install your white face guages.
