Bulbs are on twist caps in back of cluster

Remove long black sills on either side of cluster
Remove headlight knob
Remove bolts under sills
Pull slightly out and take harness off both wts cluster and fuel tank selecter
4 bolts at corners of cluster
Pull slightly out to get at and remove 3 harnesses in back of cluster
There you have it, I believe they are 10 mm bolts/screws, but grab an 8 just in case
