How do I get to the 3W Bulbs for the Tach?

Hi guys! I had no luck in trying to search for a DIY with pix on how to get to the 3W (w/ green plastic base) on the instrument cluster. the last time I tried doing something with my X5 instrument cluster, I broke it and ended up buying abrand new cluster



This is the bulb on Pelican and already have this - http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...C%20Each%20%20

I think this bulb with part # 999 631 304 90 illuminates this part of the gauges....



The link for the DIY on Pelican does not have pix All DIY's on other websites go as far as only replacing the black and beige base colored bulbs. I think you have to further open up the cluster to get access to the 3W bulbs. I heard it's a little trickier. Anyone who has done this or any information on a DIY video or pictures will be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Hey fullmetaljacket, what's your email (or you can email me: jorge@pelicanparts.com)? We have an article with pictures on replacing the the tach bulb (but also access to other bulbs) that might help you out...
