Unhappy How to remove instrument pod?

2001 c4 cab. There is one torx 20 screw behind the small grill on the left and there is another behind the emergency flasher. I am able to remove the flashet cover but then I am stuck! The small light is in a white socket type thing and I cant figure out how to remove it. Any help?

If you have the two torx screws out then you are ready to remove the cluster. I suggest you lay a rag on your steering column to protect it. Then lift up the instrument cluster. There are clips holding it in place. Just lift firmly and they will pop out. Underneath the cluster you will find three colored connectors (Grey-Blue-Green I think). Disconnect these by pushing back the black cam lever. The instrument cluster will still be connected by one harness on the right. Turn the cluster and lay it on it's face on the dashboard.

I cant seem to get at the torx screw on the right of the dash behind the flasher. I was able to remove the flasher cover but the bulb and its socket holder (the actual unit)is in the way and I can't seem to figure out how to remove it!
