Don't try to take the panel off (the clips break all too easily). Instead take out the stereo, then use a mirror to look down the back, the bulbs can be extracted from behind by gently pulling on the wires.

Not (always) true: on my 1.3mjt there is no way to remove the bulb from behind due to air flap command cable, I had to completely remove and open the unit, which by the way came off easily without breaking anything ;-) Car is a 2009.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of the problem with the cable. Wonder if it makes a difference having AC (the one in the guide, like mine, doesn't), or if something changed in the design of the later models?

Don't know if it's by design or only because of AC, which btw equipped my car...
