   Recently bought a Saxo and its in pretty good condition all round, only thing that is bothering me is that the left half of the pannel doesnt light up, suspect a burn out led/bulb.
   
   Ive got the new bulbs/leds, blue, as I dont like green for a few reasons but i dont have a clue where to begin to remove the instrument cluster.
   
   Any help would be grand, been searching on google but anything ive found is just to replace the lights, not remove the actual dash.

   first disconnect battery, rules out chance of airbag goin off, theres two security hex keys behind steering wheel , remove these allows access the nut holding steering wheel on, remove nut for steering wheel, then 2 small screws to remove the trim around cluster, then 3 screws one at top and one at either corner at bottom and the cluster will come out, this is how it was on my car

   forgot to add once you reconnect everything your airbag light may stay on as did mine, the way i fixed it was disconnect the orange cable under your seat for a few minutes then reconnect and it should go off, worked for me
