I had the night off from work tonight, so I decided it would be a good time to swap out the burnt out gauges lights I have. Well I was able to get most of the das apart, but I couldn't get the trim panel around the bezel off because the headlight ****. How do you removed this?

Dunno if 91-92 cars are different... but on mine there is a clip on the back that you gotta push with a straight slot scewdriver. Kinda similar to a cable speedo clip in a way. Same idea to get it off. Hope that helps a bit

what he said ^^^^

i was at a junkyard and needed the peice behind it and i was prying pulling twisting till the metal snapped 20 mins later and then i was like how am i gonna get this on mine and i noticed the little thing u push when it was off

Mine had a little obnoxious button like the old school headlight dimmers. If you can with a flashlight look for a small button, if you see one underneath the dimmer switch depress with the **** all the way out, then extract it... what a pain.

I don't see how its a pain. It takes all of 2 seconts to find it, and I happend to have a 12in extension handy which worked perfectly
The only problem I had was once its out, the headlights are on.

in order to do it and not have the headlights on your gonna need to disconect the battery too..ive done that before myself ..LOL but it shouldnt be too dificult just take your time and take a break when needed

Couldn't you just pull the fuse? I just put the **** back in once the trim piece was off.

Thanks guys, I will attemp this again when I am off Monday. Also, I was reading that you need some sort of connector for the 194 bulbs because the factory ones are soldered on. I asked one of the guys working at Autozone if they carried them, and he didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about. What is the name of the connector, or part number?

THEGENERAL

you can just pull a fuse but i find it safer to disconnect the battery when workin inside the dash because of a chance fryin something or pullin the wrong fuse ......

PontiacRacing

Does anyone know the name of socket for the bulb?

THEGENERAL

as youve probably noticed when you go into an autozone they dont have alot of people working at em that are mechanics to speak of ....not to step on any toes thou because there are some guys that know there s**t at autozone also ....but you might wanna call up the dealer and ask them if they know what is up with the socket your speakin of
