Definitely not a job for the dealer.

The "proper" procedure is to remove centre console, in which case the bulb replacement is trivial.

The "lazy" procedure is to merely remove the front part of the console around the gear lever (2 Torx screws under the OBDII cover if I remember correctly) and use long nose needle pliers and patience. (Worked for me... and if you hate the dealer that much it'll doubtless work for you too)

The bulb/holder prices are ludicrous. I managed to modify one to take a normal bulb, next time it goes, I'll mod it to take a white LED/resistor pack. Should last forever that way.
