Interior Light Cluster removal - SORTED
Got a 75 Tourer which did not illuminate the interior lights on the front cluster except for the drivers side, then that has stopped working too. As a result of that I don't believe that the fuse is faulty, but want to investigate the bulb connections. I have read many postings now, checked the Hayes manual and spoken with several members, and not having had the chance to check Rave, still not found how to actually remove the light cluster. Suggested that there is a lug that one has to press in to release the unit, using a flat screwdriver but I cannot find that. Hopefully someone has seen one of these removed recently or can just tell me where the release lug is positioned?

Lever out the bulb cover, there are two posi screws to remove, then pull downwards on the front of the unit and it will pop out.

One has to prise the bulb covering out of the base bulb and switch holder, by using possibly the thinnest item one can find, so as not to cause damage; I used a lino knife. The covering then pops out, as it's held in by small plastic lugs. As suggested, the fixing for the bulb and switch holder is two cross head screw. The holder is then pushed slightly forward against fixed plastic lugs and then pulled downwards at the back, causing metal lugs to release the whole item.
