Is this how you access the relay box behind the glove compartment > ? Either that, or remove the glove box. Removing the dash top is very easy. First, pry of the trim on the A-pillars, you can just pull them right off. Remove the speaker grilles, now you should see three screws around each speaker that holds the dash top. Another screw is located to the left of the glove box behind a rubber plug (open the glove box to see it) and the final screw is above the instrument cluster under the dash top, just feel around and you should find it. > > > 3.

Is ther some voodoo involved ? If this is instrument lights you're referring to, you should be able to get the instruments out with the dash top removed. Just be careful not to lose the rubber feet at the bottom of the cluster, you might want to glue them in place before you fit the cluster back in place. You may have to remove some of the multiplugs to the cluster, just be sure to make a note of where they should be. Heater panel is easy, just pull the controls straight out, and you can see the screws. Unscrew, replace bulbs, refit in reverse order. > > > 4.
