Centre console gauges removal

Hi,
does anybody have any instructions on how to remove the 3 gauges at the bottom of centre console of an 1999 Audi 80 Cabriolet 2.6e auto. I have 2 lights out and I think an open circuit connection on the PCB.

thanks
Jeff

They are bulbs on these and 99% certain they will be blown. Easiest way is to remove the centre console to where they are housed. You need to remove heater panel first to remove the upper gauge plinth part. centre console you remove the square cover in front of handbrake and then the gearstick part so that it can be lifted out, I've forgotten on an auto but it will all come clear once started.
