It's a largish globe actually. Well, it is in the ED.

Just take the front facia off the dash, and it should be accessible.

Or, I'll come and do it for a slab of Corona.

A slab? It's a bit much. How 'bout a glass of water?

Nice Car..........

You will have to take the Dash Cluster out to remove Dash Lights - its not a huge Job, few screws, few plugs...and done

Here is a pic of the back of the Cluster:-

Surely you'd want something decent for your effort?

Umm, he isn't removing the dash, he's changing the trip computer light. Nothing to do with the cluster..

Haha.

No, you need to take the dash facia off. It won't come out by shoving a flat head screw driver in there and trying to jerk it out.

Undo the radio surround, then undo the dash facia.

Take the radio surround, dash and shifter surround off.. the climate should just pop out from the dash.
Autobarn have the exact globe/holder in stock and its $2, just take the old one in with you. I just did mine last week, pain in the **** for something so small!!
