I think the lady is wanting to fit LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) not incandescent bulbs
She'll still need to dismantle per the guide, but will need to know where to source suitable LED replacements

leds in other bits dont work so well - in MID for example, makes it hard to read.  And in switches, bit bright, esp if you go for the gay boy blue ones.  Some of the switch illumination, eg around climate, uses light guides which dont work well on LEDs

I have a real dislike for blue LEDs.  Apart from looking gay, they are annoying as they are always ultra bright type, and ultimately just too common.

I had a mixture of gay boy blue and red. In the day you couldn't see the MID and at night you could see the road because the switches where to bright :(
