Have a look in the maintenance section index for 'Changing the climate bulbs'.

Where are you John?

That's a bit far for me to pop over and help ;D ;D ;D

A little tip that's not on the link... Once you've got the trim off put a cable tie on each end of the pull down bar. Leave them full length and leave the long tails hanging downwards towards the stereo. Next time you have to take the trim off you've got 2 easy handles rather than trying to squeeze your fat little fingers in the single DIN hole ;) :y
