For the HVAC you only have to remove the AC button, 4 lever covers, and the face plate. Then you can use a small screwdriver to press the tab on the translucent plastic to remove it and give you access to the bulb. It's designed to come out the front. The way you did it is way more extreme and unnecessary. To pop off the cover you can either pop the corner of the dash off as it's held in by clips and push from behind or you can remove the radio cover and reach behind. For the cluster you do not have to remove the steering column or the trim around it. All you have to do is remove the screw that holds the black plastic cover, then remove the 4 screws that hold the cluster in place. Turn it sideways and you can either reach all 4 lights like that or you can reach the plugs to remove the cluster. Takes a little wiggling to get out but easy enough to do.

Excellent advice, thank you. What year is your RAV4? I recently found out the dashboard trim is different on the earlier 1996 and 1997 model years (my RAV4), and the later 1998 and up model the black dash trim just comes out. My instrument cluster is not flat at the bottom, and dips down about 3 more inches on each side of the steering column, making it impossible to remove. I've pulled really hard on it, with no luck.

Hello !

There's a much easier way to do this: Instrument Cluster: Remove (1) philips head screw from cluster bezel(center top of bezel) and gently work the bezel free and out. Undo (4) screws holding instrument cluster (use magnetic driver or be careful not to drop them down into the dash) Angle the LH side of the cluster out and unclip the connector so you can access the backside of the cluster. Identify the (4) bulbs; remove and replace the bulbs. Reverse to reassemble. No need to drop the steering column. The Bezel is a tight fit, so be patient with it. You can also replace the Climate control bulb without removing the dash facia; Remove the radio instead; much easier Pop the three switches out; Pull the climate control out slightly Use fine pair of tweezers/needle nose pliers to gently pull the bulb out; Replace and restore. This method requires a little more dexterity and physical flexibility, that's all. Tip: Have a couple of replacement bulb sockets on hand: some bulbs may have fused themselves into the socket..
