Dashboard/odometer Q's

[stephenp95]

Two quick questions.
I've looked all over both this forum and bimmer fest with every search bar i can and i cant seem to find anything related to how to get the cluster out of my car. I ordered my vdo odo gears from garagistic today, and I know how to put them back in. i just want to know how to properly remove the cluster without tearing up my dashboard.
Other question was that the lights behind my cluster are basically dead. I cant see anything on my cluster at night even with my dome light on. i know they just need to be replaced, but since its a beamer its not gonna just be a bulb or two. i saw bimmerfest saying something around ten or twelve bulbs are behind it with some spiderweb of wires.
any guidance would be appreciated.

Here's how to remove the cluster. http://home.comcast.net/~cdeegan9/da...shboard_1.html

and all the bulbs just pop right out of the back. you can buy them from pelican parts or just any auto zone should have them as well. I think there is 2 main big bulbs then the rest are smaller.
