Been gone over a thousand times, but anyway...

Pull out light, either replace with LED or put a silicone sleeve on.
Done.

The manual aircon controls just have a single bulb in the middle up the top, once you undo the bolts you can pull the assembly down a little, and get your fingers behind, twist and pop out.

Clock, take out the clock, from there it should be obvious.
Ditto with the ignition ring.

Search is your friend.

With the LED Bulb, Get a T5, Bend the legs outwards and you will have to thread them through the holder the standard bulb comes in so that way it has contact points on the back of the holder :)

But be sure to check it before putting it all back,coz LED Lights have a positive and negative,mix them and they wont light up.

Ah yes, sort of wrote that in a haste, Just test the clock first by plugging it in and not actually mounting it :)

Sure a T5 LED's body will fit in the neo-wedge holders? I was under the impression that it wouldn't fit, hence why I didn't try it. If it does, then sweet, I can grab some red T5's.

LOL Also forgot to mention, you gotta shave down the sides of the T5 for it to fit, thats what did works a charm!
I have the 3A racing ones, and you can just pull the holder out of the LED, leaving just the LED and the resistor, So yeah either way

So yeah a T5 WILL fit

There is an easier way than taking it all apart if you go for blue or white light.

See this thread for the T4 globes that will twist right in
