How do you release the speedometer wire connectors from behind the speedometer gauge to remove the shadow box ? Trying to swap my factory bulbs for LED.
Once the faceplate is removed, a vent extension on the left side of the cluster is held in with 1 Phillips screw. Remove that extension and reach behind the speedometer until you feel the cable, under where the cable connects to the speedometer there is a half-round clip, push that clip toward you, and the cable will pop off and you will be able to remove the entire cluster.
On the left side of the cluster, once the faceplate is removed, there is a duct with 1 Philips screw in it, remove that duct and reach behind to the speedometer cable. Once you locate the cable there is a sheet metal clip with a tab on the bottom, press that tab and off comes the speedometer cable.
There are two flashers, one on the fuse box, and the other on the dashboard above where the hood release is and is held on with two 7mm screws. when going led in the cluster, you won't have to replace the flashers but if you replace the outside lights, you usually will have to.
Do you sell speedometer face to restore speedometer. Or could you tell me a name of a company that restores speedometer. I sprayed some cleaner in mine and the plastic did not like it. Do you sell used speedometer (1985)? Thank you.
what type of light bulbs for the tail lights cause my blinkers work, though it doesnt light up at night only when using brake and blinkers. also what type are the bulbs for the dashboard cluster, i would like to know so i can order these parts
We used 194/168 bulbs from SuperbrightLEDs.com The issue a lot of people have with the LEDs are they aren't dimmable, you have to have your brightness turned all the way up for them to function on the headlight switch bracket.

I have a 79 malibu and i am looking to swap the dash lights to led. Which leds did you use?
They are a 194/168 bulb size, make sure you find a dimmable LED or they will be full brightness at all times.
how do you access and release the speedometer clip? Thank you!

I have a 84 ss I can’t get the shadow box out the speedometer and clock stick screws are blocking it. How do I remove them?
The two knobs have small set screws that hold them in, you will need a very small flat head screwdriver to remove them.
@@DixieRestorationDepot thanks I figured it out. Working in this heat had me frustrated lol
