I need to replace some instrument lights on my 9000.

I believe the 'top' section of the dash lifts off but I've never attempted this.

Any advice ?

As far as i can remember firstly remove the speaker grills screws located
on the outside open door for access. underneath them is a screw each
side.I think the surround also has to come off. 1 screw between left and
right switches (fog lights) covered by a thin plastic strip. Remove
switches, ashtray consoul, screw behind there.

Once panel taken off you can see the other retaining screws. I think thats
how i did mine.

In addition to removing the speaker grills to expose the screws and
bolts holding the dash top in place, there are two screws on the front
edge. The first one is near the center of the instrument cluster. The
second is behind the SRS label on the passenger side.

By the ventilation controls ? How does one get to that ?

In my case the glove box. I can see 2 Torx head screws there above the fuse panel.

You don't get to that. There is no need to do it in order to remove
the dash top.
