Yeah.

You have to go to VW and get the bulb, as GSF or EP don't stock it. It's only a few quid, but still, I guess that's expensive for a damn bulb!

Once you have the new bulb, you need to remove the front pannel, then the ash tray unit. Once these are off, you need to remove the clear pannel to disconnect the old bulb and replace with the new one.

I can't remember the exact procedure, but the Haynes explains most of it.

Same with me. I never noticed until it was very cold one day and I couldn't see whether the blower was fully on hot and then it clicked

Must be a common one to blow.
