They connect with solder on tabs.

if you remove the LED board you're good to go.. for a while.. BUT eventually
the nicads will die completely and the tach and mpg gauge will cease to
function

so remove the LED board by all means (I took mine out 100 k miles ago ;) but
you can't ignore those nicads forever
