I know this is illegal in some states
But I'm curious in how to do this properly

Your instrument panel may have a wrap around plastic cover. There should be two screws below the instrument panel hood, which is located above the odometer. To remove the screws, you should use Phillips-head screwdriver. Also use the screwdriver to remove four other screws that connect the instrument panel to the dashboard. Each screw is located in each corner of the panel. Slowly pullout the instrument panel out of the dashboard, just grab it and lift gently. You''ll see wires that come out from the back of the panel, write down the orientation of each cable. You can easily unfasten those wires with your fingers.


Make sure you've prepared a flat, steady surface to place the instrument panel, instrument side up. The clear plastic window can be removed by unfastening seven clips around the panel body. The odometer should be exposed. The numbers on the odometer can be turned manually with fingers, you can also use flat-head screwdriver as pry tool. That's it! Now reverse the process.
Replace the plastic cover and slowly insert your instrument panel back into the dashboard. Carefully reconnect the wires based on correct orientation and secure all screws!!
