Just dropped new cluster LED behind my speedo!

So now I've spend an hour digging for it. I presume the best way to get there is through the front hood and removal all the vents and blowers etc? Thanks!

Can you drop a mirror through the Tach hole?

To me, removing all the blowers etc would be the last resort, it's a rotten job. Good luck.

Can you pull out the adjacent instruments for more access?

Found it and wasted two hours pulling out the vents etc. My own fault for not being more careful while installing it in the socket. But love the better lighting of the LEDs in my gauges.

Just noticed there are three warning lights in the oil pressure gauge but the highest red light is not used or referenced in the sc manual. What's it for in other cars??
