Default Anyone Remove their Dash... Need Assistance

I have a few bulbs burnt out in my 1999 SL500 instrument cluster and want to replace them. I will need to remove the dash pad, but I want to make sure I am performing the procedure properly. I've found two screws under the driver's side, but that's it for the dash. Please advise. Thanks

use 2 15" long coat hanger wires with small hooks at end (extra heavy duty).there is a special tool for this if you want the proper gizmo. reach in along each side of cluster and hook the edge of the cluster. they just pop out. you my find it easier to remove streering wheel. becareful not to scratch dash. you don't want to take the dash out. God forbid you ever have to replace heater core or evaporator.
