You have to take the door panel off - which really isn't very hard - to get to the screws which hold the switch pod in place. After you get the switch pod out the bulbs turn 1/4 turn CCW and pull out. I had a heck of a time finding the bulbs. I found some at this place

they're a little more than half way down on the (whole) web page, the neo wedge, I can't recall if they were type B or C, but I got the blue ones. I thought they would be perfect, and they work fine, but, now that I've had them a while they don't seem to be as blue as the rest of the lighting in the dash. Maybe one of these days I'll pop the pod again and put some blue condoms on them like the originals had.
