I have a 2004 Grand Am that has a couple dash bulbs burnt out one of them the high beam indicator light and looking for a little help getting the instrument cluster out ... I removed the bezel and the 2 screws that hold the cluster in but the cluster doesn't fit out of the opening ... any help would be appreciated ... thanks
