How to Install Audi Instrument Rings

1. Lower the steering wheel -- using your Audi's tilt and telescopic steering mechanism -- and pull it as close to you as possible to reveal two plastic tabs on the right and left sides of the steering wheel base.
2. Remove the plastic clips with your fingers, then loosen and remove the hex bolts that will be revealed underneath the clips.
3. Gently pull the gauge cluster towards you to pull it out of place.
4. Disconnect the wiring harnesses that are connected to the gauge cluster to remove it entirely.
5. Loosen and remove the two screws that hold the rear plastic housing of the instrument cluster to its clear plastic front side.
6. Pry open the plastic clips at the top of the instrument cluster so that you can pull the plastic lens off of the instrument cluster housing.
7. Insert the rings into the instrument cluster, then use the toothpick to apply a light amount of superglue to the small gap between the rings and the plastic instrument cluster housing.
8. Allow the glue to dry and cure for several hours before reassembling the instrument cluster and installing it back into your Audi.
