Video tutorial

Before starting, sit in the driver's seat of your Alfa Romeo 156. Begin by unclipping and removing the entire central dashboard frame, then unclip the gaiter of the gear lever. This will allow you to access the screws that secure the central instrument panel, which you will need to unscrew and remove to extract the instrument cluster itself.

This will give you access to the back of the blown bulb, which you will need to remove. To install the new bulb and reassemble everything, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
