I've got same problem, you have to drop the tray under the steering column to get to the switch apparently. Take a look at:

http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/index1.html

He shows how to drop the tray in the section about the hardwired radar detector.

Cheers

PS If you get round to doing this before me, would appreciate details on bulb type.

Getting the switch out is the easy part..... anyone know what type and where I can get a bulb from?

You only need to remove the coin tray by opening it then pulling horizontally back, then put your fingers in and push the switch out. Then disconnect the plug connector, it has a tooth that engages with the switch that you need to push down on to separate switch and connector.

I havent had to replace my bulb yet so no more info, sorry.

Thumbs up

Try your local model shop - ask for some 12 volt grain of wheat bulps 25p each IIRC.

They are a bit fiddly to change but mine have been going strong for over a year.

Hope this helps
Cheers
