Captain incoming, lol
Just kidding, I don't even have a digital dash in my car yet.
What I would do is remove the dash pad first. There are several screws on the underside plus three on the top inside the vent. Gives you a little space to work more freely.
Then there are a few screws to the two beauty bezels to the right and to the left of the digital cluster and some on the cluster itself, remove them.
It should not be too big of a problem to remove the whole cluster out then. If the wires to the DIC are too short see post #61 and below from mikedin in my digital dash thread:

When you have the cluster out you don't need to open ist. On the back you'll find 4 twist on bulb plugs which can hold a 194 / T10 wedge bulb. Just screw them out from behind and replace the bulb. There are 7 small ones, too (for turn signal, high beam etc.). These are kind of difficult to unscrew as there's a little plastic lip that has to be raised with a small screwdriver tip first.
Then redo all of that in reverse order.
Hope it works.
