As seen in the video, the bulb for the instrument display on the dashboard of the Mercedes Benz A-Class may burn out and need replacement. To access the dashboard, remove the panel surrounding the steering wheel by unscrewing the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

Lowering the steering wheel makes it easier to remove. Once the panel is off, unscrew four more screws, pull the semicircular cover towards you, and then lift it off the dashboard.

By prying on two pins that hold the dashboard in place, you can free it from its housing, and by disconnecting the cables, you can set it down on a flat surface to remove the three bulbs.
