I have just done it a couple of weeks back. Chip away slowly at the Araldite with a small knife or screwdriver . you will find that once you get a decent bit to break off they will come out ok.

if you referring to the top dash.......

1) on the rear of the dash snip off the star lock washer (you can buy replacements from ebay for a few quid). This will allow each of the warning lights to fall out.

2) for the 2 warning lights with the small circuit board......this is tricky.......some folk on here sugguested to un solder then re solder when re fitting but i did find an easier way.

Peel off the front warning plastic disc, you can lift it off with a sharp knife.......you can glue it back on later.

This will show the clear LED glued solid in the silver housing.........i found using an allen key with a bit of tape wrapped around the end to push on the top of the LED whilst holding the dash firming they "pop" out and save the need to un solder

Hopes this helps

Worth asking what Dashboard layout/yr you have as gmw9666 description here I believe is for later TVRS.

Mines a 96 with the three warnings only and there are no circuit boards, or clips as such . Just a fat old washer and nut on each stem that's glued to the metal.
