Hey mate simple little job as I have done mine a few weeks back, park the car straight so the wheel sits straight and then lower it down as low as you can. Then on the black cover bit in front of the cluster there is two black Phillips head screws on top half undo these and gently pull back to you, don't reef as this could break it, the bottom half of it has clips, once loose undo the clip on the loom on the right side for the dimmer switch then should be able to pull out abit more and spin him over towards the middle of the dash or undo the other loom plug for speed alert control.
Next on the cluster are four phillip head screw two a side carfully remove these better with a magnetic screw driver but normal will work just as well just help screws out as not to drop into the dash.
Once these are out the cluster can be wriggled out of the dash, there is another loom at the back so don't pull to far out unclip this then your done.
One the back of the cluster are four large T10 globe holders turn to release but one is behind a cuircut board that you need to undo three screws to access, change globe then replace boards and white cover done.
Stuff like the high beam light blinkers etc have small T3 globes these too can be done if wanted mind you bright white LED in the high beam gets a little too bright in ya face after a little while. once done put everything back in in the reverse order as you did to pull it out and enjoy.
Oh when I did mine I tested to make sure they were working before putting back togeather so might pay to hang a dark towel over your hear or do it at night so you get some darkness and check them if they don't work try taking the glob out and reinserting it 180 degrees as they are polorised, Oh and make sure you have plugged in the loom in the back of the cluster and the dimmer switch. Without the dimmer switch connected nothing will light up I found this when I did mine and was thinking I broke something lol.
Hope this helps cheers

I didn't worry about the battery Just also when you push the cluster back in it needs to sit on the connectors behind it and make sure the door light on the cluster is working, I used this also as a means to tell if the cluster was sitting in far enough.
