Yes u have to remove the dash to access four screws that hold the gauge cluster on. Not that hard to do. The LEDs that I have works well with the dimmer

If you have a 97-01, removing the dash is extremely easy. Just 4 screws and you can pop it off.

97-01 wedge base 74's fit the oem twist lock bases for the cluster. You can use 74's for the hvac and the switches as well, just need to swap bases. 74's cheaper than neo wedges.
