prise the white plastic trim off with a flat head screw driver....... it also has 3 clips at the top, just push them in and gentlt prise it off. you will see the logo's of the heater control with a orange film. now get some nail varnish remover(ONLY USE ALITTLE BIT!). Get the cotton swab and just gently rub the orange film off, DONT GO THROUGH THE WHITE FILM! once the orange film is off put the plastic trim back on, you can glue it back on but i didnt bother because its strong enough without glue.

now that you have the dials off you can now gently grip the bulbs with the pliers and pull them out and replace them, note that led's are polarity concious, if the bulbs dont work take them out and turn them 180 degrees and see if they work.
