cant help u with a guide but mate of mine has done it, pretty basic stuff. from memory the dash surround (round the cd player air con etc) was just held in by clips. theres a screw behind the ashtray, and you unscrew the gearknob the pull the bit around it straight up, think theree MIGHT be a couple of screws holdin this down (might need dash surround out first to allow you to pull it up)

the actal dash itself is a lil bit complicated to get out, cant remember where the screws etc are, but drop your steering wheel right down and sorta flip it forward towards you, although you dont need to pull it right out to get at the LED's

sorry cant be of too much help, but its better than nothing. mate did it following a guide also, i'll try and get him to link it

Im assuming that you wanted to change the instrument cluster lights. Very simple job and it will only take around 20min. It involves taking off your whole instrument cluster to do so. Also taking off your steering wheel as well.

1) Take off the steering wheel

2) There should be a screw on top of the dashboard. Undo that and there should be 2 clips at the bottom. Take that whole piece off.

3) The instrument cluster is now exposed. There should be a screw on top and 2 on the bottom. Undo those and carefully take off the whole instrument cluster piece.

4) At the back there should be 3 harnesses plugged in. Undo those and take it out.

5) Flip the cluster around, and you should see plastic sockets sticking out. These contain the light bulbs. Change it and put it all back together.

and there your cluster will have a new colour...

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
