'03 Dash Removal

Does anyone know how to remove the dash from an '03 TLS so I can replace the light behind the clock?

Wrong side of the forum. You might want to post this in the second gen forum. Welcome to the Boards though.

There are two screws on top of your gauges, unscrew those, take the little holder thingy as well as the two faux trims on both sides of the radio. Oh and lower the steering wheel ALL the way down, I found out that you can't pull the dash out without lowering the wheel. Now the hard part, slowly pull the dash out, everything is held together with clips. I found it easiest to start on the left with the door open and slowly work to the center. After the dash is loose, you need to reach in to unplug the electronics in order to pull it out enough to take the bulb out. After that, replace the bulb, line up the clips and push back in and screw the screws back. That's it! Oh, and don't forget to replug the electronics. Found out the hard way on that too. It's not too hard, just takes a little patience. Good Luck!
