take out the blanks and the switches from the top and hidden in there are two screws,also x2 more keep it in from underneath.you may have to remove the centre console to get at the bottom two located around the ashtray area depending on what tools you have.

In addition;
Pull off the heater slider knobs
Lever out the trim panel around the sliders
Remove the 4 philips type screws now revealed

Two tiny capless bulbs for the heater panel,one behind the temp control and the other is low down on,I think,the r/h side of the sliders,You will see the wires,anyway.
Clock,anologue type,lever off the trim panel,then spring plastic clips top and bottom.

Once you've removed the clock as above, one of the bulbs is just below the hole, and easily changed with no further dismantling.
The other one can just be changed from below the dash, but is much more difficult.
