Question Bulb out

I need help replacing the bulb in the air control wheel of the vent above the light switch. I had the light switch bulb replaced and now the bulb in the wheel above it is out. I would like to be able to change it myself but I don't know how to get in there.

Are you talking about the center vents? Those are tricky to remove.

On the side vent there are 2 little clips on the bottom, inside. They are black and hard to see. Put a small sharp point under them and lift them up, hold them up. At the same time slide the vent housing forward. Once you have it out just follow the wire the the back of the wheel and pull it out. Replace the bulb (you'll need to get it at your dealer). Simple. Hold the clips up and pulling the vent housing out is the hard part. Good Luck.
