I've searched but can't find anything?

Looks like the vent section above the climate control is a separate piece and comes out first but I can't figure out how? Anyone?

I'm looking to replace a few bulbs in the climate control that appear to have burnt out.

Thanks

I used a pliers with a cloth over the ends to grip one of the vent pieces. After you pull that out there is two screws at the top and everything else should pop out

you need this bulb



Type B (T4)10mm= 3/8"

Good luck

I use a panel popper (available at any auto parts store) to pry out the vents/clock assembly. Pry around the top of the vents and try not to apply too much pressure on the upper part of the vinyl dash. As roger said remove the 2 screws that you just revealed and pull out the whole center console. Then unscrew the climate control unit from the center console. Don't buy the bulbs from the dealer they charge up the @ss for them. Replace them with white T4 LED's if you want to keep them the same color. If you do use LEDs and they don't light up, rotate hem 180 degrees because they are polarity specific(probably the wrong term). Definitely test them before you put everything back together.
