Hi
Do you have to remove the steering wheel to gain access to the bulbs behind the dashboard.
Also is replacing all the lamps of the dashboard a big job, are there any shortcuts.
Thanks.

Here you go.  It's a very straightforward procedure.

I've just taken mine out for the first time - very easy thanks to the guide.

I did this job yesterday on my 2003 Omega. It is an easy job, following the guides on the forum.

I'd only want to add a suggestion. It is a lot easier to get the dashboard out if you remove the upper cover of the top sterring rod assembly. This is easily done by following these steps:

1. Remove the two screws holding the upper and lower covers together.

2. Turn the steering wheel to the 3 O'clock and 9 O'clock positions respectively. Remove the small covers over the scews. Remove screws.

3. Remove upper cover.

4. With only the narrow cover strip being in the way of the lowers screw holding the dashboard, it should be easy to unscrew.
