Does anyone know the location of the centre console bulbs and if it is easy to change them? I have to replace the one on the left hand side of mine but can't seem to track it down.

Thanks,

Neil

Easy if you have a clock rather than an OBC.
Unclip the front bezel of the clock, release the tabs and pull the clock out forwards. The bulb is just below the hole for the clock.

You don't want to take the OBC out!
Don't think I've ever changed this bulb on a car with OBC but try taking out the radio and its cage. Would think you could get at it from here.
