There is probably a how to...but its pretty straight forward and easy mate...

Remove steering wheel cowling to get access to the screw holding the bottom of the speedo unit, pop out the centre air vents to reveal the screw to the left of the speedo unit...can pull out the speedo unit now...

No need to remove steering column housing just drop steering wheel down & u will see top screw - see howto http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1192573381

Then can just ease dash out and towards nearside - can then reach all bulbs.

Approx 10 mins to do!

vents are easy to prise gently out with a flat head screwdriver...I'm assuming the comment about dropping the steering wheel down assumes the Omega has a height adjustable steering wheel??? Which a lot dont... :)
