ESP, Heated Seat, etc switch bulbs

Anyone knows how to replace the bulbs on the ESP OFF, Heated Seat, Tow Off switches that are just above the climate control unit? My ESP OFF Switch bulb is dead and I need to replace it. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

the ESP switch illuminates weak, a lot less than the other switches.

you need to remove the vuuud trim if you want to pull out the ESP switch.
if you still have the ashtray?
on L/R side corners above the ashtray under the tapedeck there are 2 screws that holds the asstray in place.
you have to start from there to remove vuud trim,

try dis 1st. before you do something stupeed, if it's possible to do?
might be easier if you remove the climate control HU with flat tool keyes before and insert your hand and push out the ESP switch from the inside if all upper switches are one by one separate?
maybe you can unscrew the bulb fastener from the inside with your hand?
