    Im in the process of doing this, basically you gotta take the gauges out of the cluster and there is green plastic on the back of them that you gotta cut out holes around where the moons go and then change the 194 bulbs to red bulbs.

    Okay, I have taken it apart before, and I figured I would have to either remove the green plastic sheet somehow. I was hoping it was just the bulbs, but I guess GM has to make it more difficult than that. Thanks for the help.
