Not only that, but you will have to disassemble the whole cluster to get to
most of the bulbs! It’s a pleasure! Watch out, it has a few ribbon cables
that you will have to disconnect inside, and those are notoriously brittle.
nice to see your sid is fully working… i might do a dash pull and apply
some 3m carbon fiber, but im not totally sure i want too since the wood
does look nice too.
LOL. No need to be jealous…..unfortunately, it wasn’t luck, I replaced a
lot of the light bulbs…and had the SID unit repaired…once myself, and
then again, a year later by the professionals.
It’s just a pressure fit. Just use a spatula on the left and right sides of
the unit… as one side starts to move forward, grab it with your
fingers…and pull it straight out…. it will pop out… then just release
the wire connector…and you are free…. I’ve probably taken out my SID
unit about 20 times.

How did you remove the SID?
Your camera technique needs a bit of work.
