Best Answer

I just changed one in my wifes wagon yesterday. Open the access panel (start with the passenger side, it's easier to see what you're doing, even if the pass side is OK, it'll give you a better view than the drivers side)

You'll see 2 plastic clips on the outside edge of the back of the lens. Release those and swing the plastic plate back, sliding the 2 tabs on the inboard side out of their slots. Sort of like the battery compartment door on your remote controls for tv's and such. With a little wiggling and carefull manoevering you can swing this plate around exposing the bulbs.

The drivers side is a little tougher because of the mounting box for the CD player, but it can be done!

No the worse thing that would happen is that you shine the light into your eye if you point it at your eye. Just change them when all the lights are off and dont touch the glass part of the new bulb or if will shorten its life span.
