MK3 clocks right? Well....

First take off the dash blank to the right or your stereo and take the screw underneath it out.
Take the two screws out from under the ignition cowling and removed that.
Take out the far right air vent above the headlight switch and take that screw/screws out.
Remove the airbag/ABS warning light and unplug.
Removed headlight switch and unplug.
Remove screws from behind where the headlight switch and airbag/ABS warning lights were.
Pull out the clock surround.
The clocks have two screws holding them in, remove the screw either side at the top.
The bottom of the clocks are just hinged, pull them towards you and the bottom pops out.
Remove plug from back of clocks and remove clocks.
If you're changing the LEDs then you'll see two metal strips across the top of the dials with two twist in LEDS sticking out.
If your wanting to get into the clocks then there are white clips all around the outside that need unclipping.

Hope this helps!
