You obviously need to remove the speedo. If you have a 3-spoke steering wheel, you can follow the following instructions. If you have a 4 spoke steering wheel, you will not be able to get the speedo through the spokes, so instead you will have to loosen (but not remove) two more screws securing the steering column and lower it.

If you don't want to remove the speedo completely through the steering wheel, you can still follow the first two photos to loosen it and the with your hands feel the bulb holders at the back and replace accordingly. It's a bit tricky, but possible.

First of all, lower the steering wheel to the lowest point it can go.
Undo the two screws (yellow circles) holding the instrument panel outer cover. Wiggle it out carefully.


There are 3 screws holding the instrument panel in place. Remove all 3.


Carefully pull the Instrument panel outwards and disconnect the two wire clips connected to it.


Carefully wiggle it out. It will go through the steering wheel gap, but be careful not to brrake the ododmeter reset thingy


Now you can see the RC receiver within the green circle. Undo the two screws (highlighted within the yellow circles) and remove the Unit.
