you need to remove the plastic fascia around all the dials/clocks etc, I.E. pull the climate control part out and there is a screw there, one in the corner of the unit, two above the clocks, and i cannot remember where else, then the clocks will tilt forward. Unclip the speedo cable and then lift them up and out. The resistors are for all of the LEDs and MFA AFAIK, so should just be a case of getting a new led and soldering it in. (although i think they might slide in, but don't quote me on that.)
