All you need to do is remove the speaker/grille from the relevent side (left for LHD countries, right for RHD countries) and you can access both of the twist-in lamp holders through the hole in the top of the dash where the speaker and vent grill normally sits. Can take a little bit of trial and error since you don't have direct view of the holders, but look down through the windscreen at the back of the instrument cluster and the two lampholders you need to get at are the two large ones at the top of the rear of the instrument cluster. Good luck.
