Hey whats up.... Here is the deal... I have a 1992 Camaro RS and the previous owner put dim LED lights in the gauge cluster. Also the speedo gauge didn't read. My dad had used speedo gears for the transmission that we replaced a week ago but the speedo still doesn't read. Today I looked behind the gauge cluster for any loose connectors and found a six pin connector with 2 clips on each end. I kept in mind that some people don't connect the speedo wires to the gauge cluster and tired to remove the cluster trim to get to the gauge cluster. Everything is removed but the headlight ****/switch. I looked in a service manual and it says 2. remove switch **** (27) by relasing the release botton on the switch (26) from under neath the instrament pannel. I did that and these methods also.

I found a mushroom shaped button and pressed it in and pulled the **** out but it won't budge from the trim. I am thinking someone glued the thing in. Does anyone know the best way to remove the headlight **** on a 1992 Camaro RS.

 

The old style switch release is a pain,as you've found out.You start with the lights in the off positon,push in on the release on the top(or bottom depending on how the switch if mounted) and pull out on the ****.The spring tension on the release is strong especially for the akward way you have access to it.The odd,or stupid thing,is when you pull the **** out to remove it it of course turns all the lights on.So you want to disconnect the negative cable on the battery first.All the pull-out style switches use the same type of **** retainer as far as i've seen.

 

Off topic, but would you mind posting up some picture (if you have any) of the gauge cluster illuminated? I'm looking into getting LED replacement bulbs for mine and I can't find any pictures of the 90-92 cluster with LED lights.

 

Hey well i finally got it out. What I did this time was pull the **** all the way out as if the headlights were to come on. Then I pressed the mushroom shaped button on the bottom and it came right off. I thought that you press the button with the **** all the way in.


As far as the dash lights, it turns out that they weren't LEDs but regular colored bubls. I found this picture from a member on this board. It looks like it is out of a 90-92 Camaro. I a preaty sure it is a kit though.
