Default How to get access to gauges?

I need to replace the bulbs behind the speedometer because it's too dim.
Does anybody know how to open up the whole thing?
I'm thinking of getting the reverse glow guage too, so...

Well I did take the whole thing apart, but I wouldn't recommend you doing the same. It is pretty easy to mess things up...and if you get some of the glow gauge faces you wont have to worry about it...

true. You are better off picking out glow guages. There are multiple choices for guages and the look great. The just slide over your needles to install them. Check mine out:

But if you decide to get these, get ones with a dimmer switch and there are some color shifting ones too...

i got em from the bay. They did slip over the needles and thats pretty much how you do it to all of them. removing the needles is a big no no. Although they were a tad big so I had to exacto knif them so they could fit around the back of my needles. go here http://search.ebay.com/92-95-civic-g...trypageZsearch

Then would it be OK not to replace bulbs as long as I got a new glow gauge face?
But then I still have to take the glass out that's covering the guages, how do I do that?
Yours look awesome!
