Can someone remind me how to access the bulb that lights the console storager bin? Pry off white plastic lens, or pull console and get it from below? Also, which style bulb does it take - like shift quadrant bulb, or something more price friendly? I just replaced the rest of teh console bulbs with a quadrant bulb from dealer (2 at $9.50), and switch lights from Radio Shack at 2 for $1.50 (the mini bulbs with long leads, #7219). Very easy to do the switch bulbs this way instead of buying from dealer at about $8. each. Now I realize that teh bin light is out also, so have to go back in.

Pull off the plastic piece that the rear ashtray is a part of. Its easy to get a good grasp if you open the ashtray.

Thanks, pulling that rear ashtray piece does seem to jog something in my memory. One of those things that I completely blanked out on ;-)
