E30 light switch illumination

[tusker]

Anyone tell me how to change the light bulb in the light switch in an 86 E30? Cheers.

remove the under dash cover (3 plastic screws)
locate the wires going to the bulb.
pull (comes out easilly)
replace bulb

put bulb back in the hole (only dificult bit)
refit under steering wheel cover.

It may help if you lie on your back in the drivers footwell with your legs out of the door.(so you can see what your doing)

I find it more comfortable to roll the seat back and take your shoes off and put your feet up! Then all people can see when walking past are these two feet in the air!

Thanks guys, wounds like I'd better do some exercising to loosen up before attempting this
