The whole thing or just the top? Just the top is only one screw on the center console, it's under a rubber mat usually, under the HVAC.

Imma have to say the whole thing that goes between the seats. Have to figure out how to tuck wires underneath there and line them up to the footwell area to go over to the flood light switches section. Figured would need whole center console off!

Yeah, it's actually a lot easier than it looks. I didn't want to mess with it at first because of it being such a large piece, but it worked out great. Sent my gauges to BBengineer and they look awesome. Too bad I wasn't able to get the HVAC controls to him before he stopped. Now I need to look around to get my HVAC customized.

Yes. I now have gauge lights at night. Thanks again for the video. I didn't even have to pull the entire dash out. I was able to access the dimmer switch by partially moving the dash piece being careful not to break the dash. Once again great post.

You'll just have to remove the top, it's the screw under the HVAC and pull lol

Oh it's super simple haha

Use some clear vinyl on your HVAC on the back of it, it should give the same effect!

Just found this video. Need to replace the hazard switch, and was a little intimidated about having to remove the dash. Now, I am more at ease to do this myself. Thanks!
