Default Gauge Lenses

Hi,

1974 V12 Roadster

I'm trying to access the gauge lenses for cleaning. The plastic ring holding the glass is not coming off by hand. Please, could someone offer advice as to how is task can be achieved?

Bruce, it's easier if you remove the gauge from the car first. Just pull off the connectors.
Hold the body of the gauge in one hand and the bezel in the other and twist. There are small tabs on the back of the bezel that line up with gaps in the front flange on the body. If it won't move you can CAREFULLY lift the tabs on the bezel a small amount and twist.

Andy, thanks for that. At least I know now it can be done.
