w210 e230 main instrument panel removal for bulb change

[old230e]

I have the bulb behind the digital 'outside temp' display gone. How does one remove the instrument panel to get at the bulb ?

There are special hooks for pulling the display out, but these can be fashioned from wire coat hangers. Basically they are L shaped with only a short leg.

Push the pullers past the sides of the display and pull out.

I've got the same problem - the same bulb has gone.

Where do you insert the wires?

Do you have to remove the steering wheel to get the cluster out? I don't have an adjustable steering wheel!

What type of bulb do I need? It is worth replacing all the bulbs in one go?

Your expertise is greatly appreciated
