Changing Instrument Cluster Lights on Mazda 323

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Instrument cluster

Unscrew the screws that secure the instrument cluster, as shown in the video. Then, using a plastic lever or a small flat screwdriver, pry in the gap that runs the width of the instrument cluster between it and the dashboard. Remove the cluster from its large housing. Now, from the back, you will have access to replace each connector and bulb. The connectors can be detached by simply prying them off with a flat screwdriver. Once done, unscrew the affected bulb(s) and remove them, insert and screw in the new ones, and reassemble everything by reversing the procedure.
