For those of you with an E30 318is (no trip computer), replacement of the OB
clock bulbs can be done in 2 minutes:

1) Pry off clock face with a finger nail or a pen knife exposing the clock
unit. 

2) Depress the tabs on the top and bottom, and pull the clock part way out. 

3) Release the harness latch on the back, and remove the clock. 

4) There are two bulbs assemblies that fit bayonet-style into the sockets in
the back. Remove and replace the dead bulb assemblies with needle nose
pliers.

5) Reverse above steps.

Bulbs assemblies cost less than $10 each from the dealer.
