inst. panel lights 200 1979

Hi. In my '79 245dl I need to change the insterment panel bulb, I read the manual, says to take off the top of steerig collum, then take 2 screws out of the vertical face of the insterment panel(lower left and right). There are 2 clips at the top of the panel, right under the lip of the dash, here is my problem. I can reach them from behind, but dosen't seem to budge, I can't access them from the front without tearing up my dash..I am sure this isn't a fuse problem due to the orange bulb warning light on the dash. I am wondering if I am doing it all wrong..book says remove clips..but doesnt tell how. Any tips would be great. Also since I am posting, some of my electrical systems don't work unless I jiggle the key, is that a common problem,easy to fix? No biggie, if the wipers won't work..I just jiggle the key and the turn right on. Thanks for your time..

    Those are springs that hold teh cluster. You have to overcome the tension to force the cluster out. Push from under and behind. Make sure the screws at the bottom are out.
