    Hello everyone. On my 2003 360, the RPM gauge has lost 1/2 of its illumination. I was told by Ferrari that I have to buy a whole new instrument cluster as a fix for the issue as it is a sealed assembly with no user replaceable bulbs unless I adventure myself to hack it in and try to open it myself to access the bulbs. They might actually be LED type lights meaning either one just went bad, has poor pin contact or the circuitry that feeds the power to it needs some re-soldering or re-wiring of some kind... One way or the other, once I get to the bulb, I'll fix the issue. Now, I will not even bother to mention the price quote I was given for a new instrument cluster worth thousands of dollars because it is so ludicrous its not worth any of our precious time... all of it because of a $1 burnt bulb inside it?.... hmmmm... no...

    So, the question of the day, hopefully without having to disassemble 1/2 the steering wheel and column, etc., what it the most simple procedure to remove the 360's cluster from the dash as I want to try it myself... I have nothing to loose because even if something goes wrong, the only alternative will be getting a whole new one. I can see the for retainer screws that hold the metal plate that covers it, but of course the steering wheel is just in front of it and that's where all the gymnastics start...

    Thanks to all in advance :)
