How to replace instrument dash bulbs on vauxhall omega

Get a long nose pliers /gently tug on the two vents to the left of the inst/panel until they come away they are press clipped in / this will reveal two screws remove them / now you can remove the vent holder, which will reveal a screw that holds the left side of the inst/panel remove this screw / now you need to remove the top piece of steering column cowling to do this you need to turn the steering wheel to reveal the two screws which hold it in place they are covered with little plastic caps remove them and the screws underneath / gently remove the cowling / drop the steering wheel and remove the screw that holds the bottom of inst/panel in place which is above the cowling you removed / now you have to remove the multi pin plug at the back of the inst/panel this plug is locked in position with a clip that needs to be raised upwards so that you can remove the plug / the clip pivots in the middle / bit fiddley i know / the panel should come out now.

Omega Instrument illumination -
1) Remove both centre vents. This is quite easy & you don't need any tools.
2) Remove surround from vents - two screws hold this in place. Also reveals one of the two screws holding instrument panel in place. Remove this screw also.
3) Turn wheel through 90 degrees to reveal hidden screw cap. Remove hidden cap and screw.
4) Turn wheel though "other" 90 degrees and repeat for other cap/screw.
5) Remove three phillips screws from underneath column steering.
6) Tilt column all the way down
7) Unscrew column tilt lever
8) Remove top & bottom covers from column - these fit together - also be careful of stalk rubbers & key surround.
9) Unscrew lower panel screw. This is in center of column at the top - you will need to bend down to see it. Also be careful it dosn't fall into column adjustment mechanism!
10) Remove panel over top of wheel - hinging around LH side to avoid having to undo the computer cable.


Take it nice & slow. You may need to tilt the column withe the covers off - just screw in the adjustment lever.
