I have the cluster out for replacing bulbs. I decided that since i was replacing i would replace them with leds. Well that worked great, except for the diagnostic bulbs with the exception of check and abs which work fine with led. The other diagnostic bulbs just stayed lit and never went out. I dont suppose there is a way to use leds in these? Otherwise i am chasing down new incandescent bulbs for those. I dont plan on taking this out again anytime soon. On a related note, the outer bezel apparently supposed to have 6 screws but mine only came with 4. What size are the ones closest to the steering column? Looks like they were there at one time. Looked on realoem, but it didnt mention anything there.
Thanks a bunch.

all are the same diameter but two are longer then the other six. I don't remember which are long and which are short though
No e30s again.
one more question. there was 2 wires connected to the speedo. Both are green/yellow. Does it matter which goes into which port? I took picture, but going back to it, inconclusive. One seems to be coming from the left of car and one from the right. I am assuming they are redundant speed sensors. Car not drivable yet so i am a little lost.

there should only be the large multi-wire plugs, shouldn't it be, other than the check lights at the bottom.
I don't remember there being any single green/yellow wires

they are plugged into the large green connector in the right top two ports if you are looking at it from back from bottom.
