Default 2002 ram, how to I remove dash to change bulbs

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. it appears that one of the bulbs behind the dash is out. How do I remove the dash to gain acess to these bulbs? One of the gauges is dim at night.

Remove the lower Knee bolster, 2 screws on bottom
Remove the light switch on the left side, just pops on
Remove the radio bezel, 1 screw over by the bag holder
Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument panel.
Remove the four screws that secure the instrument cluster to the instrument panel structural support
Pull the instrument cluster rearward far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectors for the cluster from the connector receptacles on the back of the cluster housing.
Then you should be able to see the bulbs, unfortunitly they may only be available through the dealer
