Default Gauge Bezel Install

Can anyone help me out on installing an aluminum gauge bezel for a 6th gen coupe? I tried it today, but didn't really get too far. Let me know how to get it all done. Thnks

4 Screws off to take off panel then remove the 3 harnesses pull out unit and then just move the small tabs and comes off real easily about 10 minutes at the most you should take to take it off and put the new bezel.

take out 2 screws on the top of inside of the cluster. Then grab the black outer part (not the cluster itself) and yank. If you look where the screws were and move your hands back a little bit, you can get your fingers underneath and get a better pulling position. It's held in by two clips that might take some force to take out.

there is then 4 screws holding the cluster in, take those out. What i usually do here is angle the top of the cluster forward while pushing the bottom of the cluster inward. This gives you enough room to take out the 3 big green wire harnesses in the back. Then you take out the cluster, and unbolt the screws holding the clear plastic piece on. Take out old bezel, put new one in

the i4 is the only model accord that the bezel can fit onto ... if you have a V6, the cluster was made by ford and the clear lens can't be seperated from the black housing.

Mine was self explanatory. I wouldn't think the V6's would be that much different.

trust me guys ... the V6 can't use the gauge bezel. the clear lens cannot be seperated from the black plastic trim the bezel mounts to.
