Switching the climate face is fairly simple. You need to first remove your radio and lower panels to gain access to the climate control. There are 4 screws that need to be removed. One in the rear, which is almost identical to the radio screw, and 3 on the "face" of the climate control. There are two on the sides, which are larger screws. You will probably have to lie on your back to get to them. The last screw is very small, and will require one of those tiny electronics screwdrivers. It is the actual screw that holds the face of the climate control on the unit. After you have removed all 4, the entire unit should be able to slide forward about 2 inches. You will then have to find a way to remove the slider buttons...I used a pair of pliers and cushioned the pliers with a rubber band then grabbed them like I was pulling a tooth. They pop right off, so pull hard. Then, there are I belive 3 tabs holding the face on. Use a small flathead and gently pry them up and slide the face off. Once that's done, remove the face off your JDM unit, switch the bulbs and retain the amber "condoms". After that, it's just reverse order. Good luck!

Skywalker-although I like all cars...I chose to build my EG6 with only parts made in Japan including JDM (oem) parts...

I am very aware that many of the parts I buy for my car, are not only expensive, but often have no "special" purpose.

It sounds like you have a pretty bad-a$$ car...any pics?

So there's no extra features or different color backlighting or anything? It's just the same exact panel aside from the fact that it was from a Japanese vehicle?
