Default Dash lights needing replacement

Hi guys,
Hoping to get details on how I can change my dash lights as some of the dials on the right half of the dash are hard to see due to suspected blown bulbs behind the dash.
Any links to videos and links to part numbers would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

It is very common for one of two wedge bulbs to burn out behind the cluster.

You need to drop the lower part of the dash. Pull the steering wheel forward as much as possible. Then it is not easy to remove the cluster bezel and even harder to put it back.

There are two large wedge bulbs behind the cluster and then several small ones. If you are going to take everything apart then it is best to change all the bulbs but make sure you take a picture of behind the cluster before you remove them because not all the sockets have bulbs.

Part numbers: Mercedes 0015445594 x 2 (T10 12v/2w) Jahn makes a cheaper version but they don't seem to last as long.
Mercedes # 00000000816764 or Sylvania 2452MFX6 (much cheaper and they are the OEM) x 24.

This Youtube video talking about the skreem kind of shows you how to remove the cluster bezel and cluster itself.
Here is a thread on the forum showing the cluster in detail but use my part numbers for the bulbs. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ght-bulbs.html
