5 torx hold the dash top on,,,3 on the top an 1 on each side.

the clocks are then held by 1 each side,once they're out lift up an out (removing plugs)

you may also have to get your hand behind to remove the speedo cable,,you squeeze this together..

then find the suspect bulb,twist and remove.. local motor shops stock these :lol:

he meant he changed my speedo cable today, hence had the dash out.

personally I wouldnt change any other bulbs than the one/ones that are gone.

If it aint broke dont fix it. lol

Easy enough, just pinch and wriggle, its a bit stiff to get off but it will come off in the end.
