No no need to remove the steering wheel theres just enough room to get your hand in behind the instrument cluster My kit was just globes aswell the globes just pull out like on christmas treelights the only other thing you need to know is the is led lights are negative and positive if you put them in and they dont work just take out the globe holder and turn it around and all should be good im going to replace all my warning lights with another color maybe red,green or even pink
