Send me an email and I'll send you a diagram with the instructions. Once center console is out, use a screw driver to turn the bulb holder a 1/4 turn to remove. Reinstall the bulb in the holder and reinstall both together the same way you removed it. Believe the bulb is the same as for the cigarette lighter light, but I'm not sure...never was able to find this. If the same, then it's a small 1.2watt bulb (in a W2x4.6d socket) bulb #8- same as many of the intrument lights including the warning lights and lights with switches. Good luck, and let me hear from you if you want the diagram.

You're talking about the light that shows you what gear you're in, right? I replaced the bulb last year. It's a tiny European bulb. The trim around the shifter pops out. Use a wooden letter opener or something that won't scratch anything. You'll see the tiny bulb. Take it your local auto parts (e.g. Kragen) store and get a replacement. It's a little tricky putting the light bulb back in so it's aligned to the mechanism that shows what gear you're in, but you'll get the idea. Hard to explain. I did the job in 15 minutes. Took about 10 min. to get the alignment right.
