I know how to pretty much remove the gauge panel. but I can't get it off without removing the trip meter dial? How do I do it? Sorry if not worded quite right.

What exactly are you trying to do? By "Gauge Panel" do you mean the panel that mounts the meters and idiot lights?
I think I know what you mean. I wanted to remove the trip meter screw too, but realized I'd have to completely disassemble the whole guage cluster. So I didn't. What are you trying to do exactly?
There is a very tiny screw inside the plastic trip meter screw, you have to remove that first to take off the trip meter screw. You can see it from the side.
I had to use my eyeglass screw driver set to remove it because it was so small.
Yeah, seamax that is what I was talking about.
I am attaching a diode to the idiot light so it will work again. I had to remove it in order to get my led blinkers to work properly. But, I like my idiot light too! While it is off I have some carbon fiber decal and want to change it from the regular grey to a carbon look. It may not look good if not will take it off.
Will show pics when I'm done!
Thanks,

I tried today to get the screw out of the trip knob. I used a small phillips but no dice! Is it a special type of phillip's head screwdriver that you have to use? Also, when looking for the wires I'm kinda confused on hooking it up all I see is the wires coming from the speedometer. Are they hiding somewhere else. Was told this was an easy thing to do. I hope it is nothing like dealing with the led lights!

Hold the knob as you unscrew, and its a tiny phillips head.
Cool.
