Hi Gary,
Welcome to the club mate, I have the same the problem but mine has not yet gone completely, I've turned the brightness down to avoid buring them out completely. There are 2 screws on the top of the display, once you've removed these, you need to extend the steering wheel as far as possible and then slowly but evenly pull the dash display out.
You need to do a search but there was someone on here that has either found a replacement or was looking at one but not sure of the outcome though.
Hope this helps

It looks like I have come up with a way of replacing the 'light up' part of the needles on these cars. I should be able to do it in other colours (say, blue, white, etc.) but at this stage I am unsure of the cost - but it will be less than the dealer will charge for the parts (in Australia, anyway). We use better quality parts than the originals so they should last a lot longer.
PM me if you have any questions!
