ok mate firstly whip out your stereo. u then gotta leaver off the fascia where your heater controls are with a screwdriver and undo those 4 screws. theres a further two screws holding on the btoom bit that were concealed by the heater bit. then leaver out your hazard warning lightswitch and window heater swtich and the blank plates. Then leaver out your top air vents and theres another two screws up there. pretty sure theres another couple of screws at the bottom somewhere but nto certain.

I'd agree with Josh, they do tend to look a litte tacky. The best thing you can do is upgrade the yellowish celing mounted light for a nice white one

if you wanna get to your cigarette lighter wires, grab the unit the cigarette lighter is in, (the small black box thing) pull it downwoods n it unclips, then pull it out further n you can see the wires. Clips back in by pushing and then pushing upwards. Piece of p*** mate.

You can buy the bulbs off eBay, not sure which ones but a Haynes Manual will be able to tell you which ones they are, and how to get about changing them

I used the feed to the boot light to do the same - the neons were low power so it worked well.

Yeh i'd say that was the best way of going about it,

6N2s have a 9V in the boot also though

you dont need to take your whole centre console out to get to the cigerette lighter! also if its for the boot id do as they suggested tap it off the boot light. If its a 6n to change the interior bulb you just leaver off the plastic bit with a flkat head screwdriver, pp the bulb out and pop the new bulb in, 1st mod i ever did
