Yeah, there is a bulb behind, I did mine yesterday. You need to take the light dimmer switch panel out. I've got most of the panels off at the moment so was easy, but you will need to remove the under dash panel to get to the 2 large round fixings either side, unscrew the pull switch and push the threaded stud back through. You will then be able to get you're hand up behind. Sounds worse than it is. It's the same bulb as in the ashtrays.
good luck, hope you have little hands winkeye
