It's pretty simple though, Ron. You just disconnect the electrical connector, pull up on two locking bars and out comes the cluster. (except if you have an ARB bar)

CaverD3,
I tried to remove my lights last week without success, I didn't know you had to remove a "plastic bit", I asked at a guy at ARB and he said it was a bit of a "whoops" factor, allegedly takes about an hour and a half with special tools. If I've got this wrong fine I stand corrected. Would be great if you could find the photos. I'm away tomorrow I'll have a look when I get back, nothing broken I was trying to see if it was possible, I couldn't get the lights out of my last D3 maybe ARB have changed the design now, thats unless you've always had to remove the "plastic bit".
Merry Xmas guys and a Happy New Year.
Hope this helps:

With the plastic bit removed, you can see screw holes:

Will slide between bars; put a towel betweeen the lense and bar to stop it getting scratched.
I had to change a globe on my D3 with ARB bar a year or two ago. If it wasn't for the bar it would be dead easy. I remember thinking at the time **** I can't get the light cluster out!! However I managed to change the globe with light cluster loose but not removed from the car. It didn't take that long (half and hour maybe) and I didn't need any special tools.
Definitely a "whoops" for ARB though! Maybe it'll be fixed on the D4 bar.
