[s-cars] Instrument cluster removal

[Tom Green]

Geez, Wylie, if you aren't going to invest a few bucks in a manual, at
least read the tech stuff on Audifans and s-cars.org. :-)  There have  
been
several write-ups-some with photos- on instrument panel bulb replace-
ment.

It comes out the big end first.  Steering wheel out and down with a  
towel
to protect it.  When it is out a little,  rotate the face down so you  
can reach
the nearest connector.  Buy some 2W bulbs first and upgrade.
