@@MrJustinWheeler I used trim removal tools and a prayer that I wouldn't break anything. I found a video of someone replacing the face plate behind the needles when I did it. I looked for a while and can't find it right now. The trim tools were sometimes like this Limited-time deal: LivTee 5 pcs Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit, No Scratch Plastic Pry Tool Kit - Interior Door Panel Clip Fastener Removal Set for Vehicle Dash Radio Audio Installer (Blue) a.co/d/i0Qu9Fh
@KeithG-n9f This is the previous generation f150 but this is very similar to how I removed the needles. th-cam.com/video/d3SiBn4wopQ/w-d-xo.html&si=EsKV82fo9TtdvcNo
@@KeithG-n9f I ended up having to remove my needles multiple times during the process of fixing my LEDs. I used my cats paw/trim removal tool at first. Then ended up just using my fingers. Both ways work.
Thanks for these videos. What tool did you use to pop the needles off the gauges?

Would like to replace my LED's too but can't remove the circuit board because of the needles.

I wouldn't make the face with a sharpie however. I would use something removable like tape.
