Removing the instrument cluster from the dashboard appears to be a simple operation but must be done with great care to avoid damage. Using a screwdriver, preferably a plastic tool to avoid marking the bodywork, pry in the appropriate notches to remove the plastic cover on the driver's side of the dashboard to access the ventilation grilles.

In the recess, you will find the screws securing the instrument cluster that need to be unscrewed. With force but also great caution, pull the entire instrument block outward.

Unscrew both rear screws to free the instruments, then remove the instruments while being careful of the connected cables. Replace the faulty bulb, and to reassemble, follow the same operations in reverse.
