its a 5 min job

remove abs light

remove headlight switch (theirs a tab u press in on the inner right hand side of the switch once you have removed the abs light
theirs 2 screws which need removing (this are for the plastic panel that sits around the clocks

remove the blank plate to the right of the stereo (revelas a screw, undo this screw - also holding the plastic panel around the clocks in place)

the plastic panel is also held in with clips, pull it off, (may help for you to remove the steering column surround too, 2 screws on its underside)

once all thats off the clocks are held in with 2 screws, remove these and its also on a hinge, drop the clocks forward, reach behind to the left theirs a big plug, undo this and then pull the clocks from the car

the bulbs are behind a plastic cover on the top of the clocks (you do not need to take the clocks to bits to change the bulbs, just remove the cover on the top)

thats about it, will make more sense when u get into it, Very very easy
