This tutorial begins with the instrument cluster already removed (if you don't know how to do this, many of our other tutorials cover this operation). You need to uncover and then unscrew the two side bolts that secure it to the vehicle, then pull it out from the upper clip by pulling it towards you. Once done, and positioned comfortably, access the bulbs from the back of the cluster by removing the small covers and unscrewing the screws underneath, allowing you to open it and replace the small lights.

Reassemble everything in reverse order.
