you can get the replacement bulb from vw parts or maplin electrics shop might carry it or maybe even halfords at a push. its a very tiny bulb
I have the vw part number if you need it
to make it easier to remove the middle knob, first pull out the coin tray above the controls, then take off the black surround on the control unit and now you should have more to grip the middle knob to pull if off in one sharp move
getting the bulb out can be hard, I used a pair of long nose pliers, being careful not to crush the glass of the bulb. could also try a small piece of tubing
Hope helps

It just pulls out, use a long nose set of pilers and carefully grip it and pull it towards you
