It can be done, but will take some doing.

Here's a good "how to" on getting the gauge cluster out.

As for the light itself, you might be able to find some pics or directions by searching within the "Interior LED mod" thread (it's a huge thread).

Good luck.

That's still 0-90 mph in 3 seconds. I'd like to see the C5 that pulls that.

HA! Thats sooo funny! I accidentally bumped my mph/kmph switch and didn't notice it...and I was cruisin at about 80mph when I passed a cop...I knew I was fine (keeping with traffic), but looked down at the speedometer just in case...It read '130' .... I was like ahhh WTF I'M screwed, but what!? Had a mini panic attack thinking I'm going to jail for cruisin 130mph!!! Then saw that it was kmph....I then also rememberd I'm blond....
