To change bulb behind that you take of the panel. It unclips and the bulb is in a holder which lights up the panel

unclips from right hand side. I use one of them trim things bit like a plastic tyre lever. I have loads of capless bulbs if you need any ??

The bulbs do not remove from the holders although some people have had success cutting them out and replacing them with capless bulbs. The correct switch/panel bulbs are as follows.

Switch illumination including the headlamp switch:

30710781 (picture - right)

Centre console illumination including heated seat switches, ash-tray, etc:

Clear: 3545170 (picture - left)
Green: 3523964 (picture - centre)
