In need to replace the dimmer for the instrument lights on my '82 300SD. Is this a
DIY or is it best left to and expert. I have never had the instrument cluster out so it is /will be a new experience. Any suggestions please.

This cluster is easy to get out if you have the cluster hook pullers. You just pull it out and disconnect the wires.
Good luck
