Still thinking about incandescent VS LED.

But this afternoon was able to get the pad cluster and bezel out. I am hoping to get by with all the bare black plastic on the original bezel and vents. Chrome accents are pretty good. I want to repaint the silver along the bottom of the bezel. I do plan on using the fake woodgrain around the gauges that I got from AMES.

I would like to get the lens off the cluster. It looks like it is held in by metal tabs that are bent over the lens... I'm nervous about bending them for fear of breaking the 54 year old lens... Any suggestions?
