Its easy to do. Just do it! Nothing quite like a fully lit 480 dash at night. Look at all the buttons!!

Just the 8 screws for the dash surround, and 2 for the heater control box.

you can do it without removing the dash!
carefully pull of the control slider knobs, and then gently lever off teh surround for the heater controls, then you can remove the black plastic strips and the plastic that carries teh light and has the temp markings on it.
The bulbs are behind, one at each side, use a pair of pliers to reach them. do not push on them, they will move back, and then you will have to remove the dash!
