    They're pretty handy to replace, unscrew both screws on plastic covering, remove it and then unscrew another 3 screws holding the dash in place, remove that too. At the back you will see the bulbs, any decent petrol station should have them!

    Are you sure the bulbs are the problem? No offence, but it's often just that someone has turned the rheostat right down.:)

    Are they the bulbs in the little plastic holders that you twist out?

    Like this?

    If so they should be available in any decent motorfactors, forget the likes of Halfords etc, they get confused by anything beyond a headlight bulb.
