Dash bulb replacement

This isn't a hard task.
First, take a very small screwdriver and bend the tip into a 90 degree angle. Put the tip in the small slot on the lights and wiper *****--pull down on screwdriver tip as you pull on the *****, and they will slide off.
Next, remove the screws at the bottom of the lip of the dash--they screw into the top of the instrument panel.
Next, pull on the instrument panel lightly, up and out--tabs are on the bottom of instrument panel.
Next, remove the 4 screws holding the instrument cluster panel.
Then pull the cluster panel out gently--have to be careful of shift indicator if an automatic. If more room is needed, remove the steering column cover---one screw is on the bottom of the cover--pull it apart and it will slide over column.
Remove the hard wiring clip on the far left and far right lights.
Now you can reach in and rotate the clips that hold the bulbs.
Get 8 new ones and replace all of them while you are there.
Only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
