Your Mazda 2003 mpv odometer light is out - how do I replace it?

This is the procedure I used for my 2000 MPV. I'm thinking it should be the same but can't say for certain.
- Go to an auto parts store and buy #74 bulbs (I found they were a little big, but I still managed to squeeze it in)
- Take off the dash panel cover (undo 2 screws located above the steering wheel)
- Grab the panel by the air vents and give it a tug to dislodge all the retaining clips around the panel.
- Undo 3 screws that hold the instrument cluster in place and you will be able to remove it from behind the steering wheel (optionally, disconnect the 4 wiring harnesses for easier removal)
- Turn the instrument cluster around and use needle nose pliers to twist out the light base behind the odometer.
- Remove burnt out bulb from the twist lock base, (but save the green rubber bulb cover) and replace with a new one (put the green rubber cover on the new bulb).
- Twist the light back in (doesn't matter if it's upside down)
- Reassemble instrument cluster, and test the lights by turning the ignition to "ACC" or start the engine.
- Replace the dash panel
FYI - while I had mine apart, I visually inspected ALL bulbs to see if any others were burnt out. I found 4 that I had to replace! Makes you wonder what would happen if your Check Engine light was burnt out.
