replacing astra g warning light

Cars I had in the past I just used to reach up from the footwell to behind
instrument cluster. Don't think I can do this now on my Astra.
Any ideas how to replace the trailer indicator dash light on the instrument
panel?
Ahhhh bygone days

 

Not actually had cause to do it myself but the book says it's a steering
wheel off and instrument panel out job. Would be worth physically checking
if it is possible for a contortionist to do it without before you go that
far though. Suggest you invest in a Haynes manual if you do have to take
the panel out. These only go up to year 2000 AFAIK but cover most of the
stuff on later models and include the safety precaution for working near the
airbags.

Good luck,

Vin

 

You've got to remove the instrument panel, not perticularly hard, just a few
torx screws to get access
