Default TC area light replacement

Does anybody know right off hand the quickest way to replace the bulbs under the center console? Pretty sure it's cut and dry, but before I get into it is there anything I should look out for?
This is one section I haven't messed with yet...

With that guide, for sure you will easily find your way to the bulb of your TC.
Why are you replacing it anyway?

It's never worked since buying the vehicle. I drive mostly at night or early morning, and with winter coming I'd rather get to it sooner than later. Honestly I haven't even checked the fuse box yet so the fix might be easier that I anticipated!!

If you have dash lights and not console lights then the fuse is fine. Its burned out bulbs.

Hey Blue!! What's up? Thanks for the info. Both are really no big deal. I just hate it when things don't work properly. Especially when its an easy fix!!

The scematics on the dash/console lights appear to be the very same curcuit Jinx.

Yeah, looks like slot #6, with a 5 amp fuse, or Slot #16.
