How many light bulbs are behind dashboard?
In the center dashboard (digital numbers display) ...
you have the TEMPERATURE - ODOMETER - TIME

Here is my issue...the back lighting behind the TIME is now dimmer than the other two areas. The TIME (clock) can still be visible but hard to see.

I am assuming that there is a light bulb that went bad behind the TIME area.
Is it hard to replace? Don't have much experience removing a dashboard...especially on a w210.

thanks.

Get
or make some cluster hooks.
Use them to pull the cluster
steering wheel all the way out so you have room to replace the bulb or bulbs without having to unhook it.
Bulbs are easy and from memory about 10 of them in a few different color bases.
Some member probably bought a 10 pack of each color base so when you have yours out ask here. or get at the dealer.
easy diy

Looks like ....
there are three bulbs that provide white illumination for that area of the instrument cluster. There are also three that provide red illumination for messages. Search this forum form info on "remove instrument cluster" to find out houw to remove cluster.
