Well guys this is mainly for foammanmark but will hopefully be handy to all with phase 1 V70s.
This whole process took me around 10mins but i would make space for between 30-60 mins to make sure it all goes right.
Tools needed:
Small straight edge screwdriver
T20 Torque socket (i used an adaptor and a 3/8 ratchet)
Ok so the bulbs are gone on your dials, replacing them is not only to make your car look good, its also a requirement for MOT's, most will advise but you will get some lol
1st off here is a picture of what your dash should look like (intact):

What you need to do next is get your small screwdriver and carefully remove the drivers side vents (including the one in the inner door) and speaker cover on the top of the dash:

now that you have done that you will come across some t20 screws that i have circled in red, you will need to remove these:

ok so now you have done that you will need to remove the centre vent, same way as you removed the other and you will find another 2 screws there, again i have circled them in red so you know which they are:

ok now for the passenger side, you will not need to remove the vent, only the one on the inner door and the again the speaker cover, i have circled where the screws are here:

ok so now all the screws that hold the top of the dash are removed you can now lift the dash upwards and slide it out towards you, your dash should now look like this:

http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af238/Daza2010/How%20to%20guide%20pics/IMG013.jpg
if you cannot remove the top part of the dash you may have missed a screw so go back throught the guide to make sure :)
now the removal of the dials is pretty simple, what you will need to do is unplug the 4 switch packs that go into the top of the dials (circled in yellow) as you cannot remove the dials otherwise, then unclip the 2 clips (circled in red) that hold the dials in, after that the dials will be loosened and can be removed upwards.

now that you have the dials out it all becomes self explanatory, the 4 bulbs i have circled in red below are the main lights for the dials, all the others are for the normal lights like the engine management and abs etc:

now to get the dials back in just reverse the guide and bobs your uncle lol
i hope this guide helps out and if you have any other questions please dont hesitate to ask :D thanks guys and enjoy :D
