I'm confused I though you had to take the whole dash out to replace the lights??? does the woodgrain piece seperate from the dash? I'm worried about having take out the whole dash because my lights are out :(
The woodgrain piece is held in by 3 screws at the top. Once you get the screws out, pull the top towards you, and lift up alittle bit to slide the bottom out. The little screws in the actual woodgrain part are just for show and serve no purpose whatsoever so you will have to remove the entire gauge bezel. Its actually very easy. But as the lights go, I dont have experience working on these, just customizing :mrgreen:

There wasnt in mine. Just the 3 up top and then 2 little "pegs" that slide into the bottom below the radio. Be careful because the parts where the screws go through on the bezel itself are notorious for breaking off and then you lose a way of mounting it. In every junkyard I go to they are snapped off :x

Does anyone know where I can get a bezel from. I have a 86 Pontiac Grand Prix and I'm looking for a dash bezel.
