   Hey guys, found a guide about how to change the actual LED's is there an easy way of taking the actual dials out of the car? (Instead of taking steering wheel off etc)
   
   Regards

   Steering wheel is easy to remove pal. You will have the dials out in 10 minutes.

   take air bag out by two screws on back of steering wheel and once its out there is a big torx screw you cant miss it and thats your wheel off mate
   and then its like 5 screws to get the dials out (2 in dial surround and 3 for the actual dials)

   I dont have a massive torx set, can't you drop the steering wheel down and slide it out?

   I have a torx set, only up to 20 though, I'd only use it this once, then probably never use it again

    Take of the 2 covers around the steering wheel, bottom and top, T20 torx bolts x2.
    Then the dial surround is 4 torx bolts, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom were the cover was, now you see taking the cover of gives better access.
    Once the surround is out i think its 2 torx bolts for the dials, could be 4.
    Once there out, unplug the wires behind and it will come out with ease.
    
    hope that helps

    Do i need to undo the 4 screws next to the stalks (indicator etc)
    
    I can't seem to find anymore
