Not really, all you need to do is pop the cover near the gear select on auto's, unplug the power outlet, and then pry off the middle plastic cover, and then unplug the clock, and hazards, and the cigarette plug, and then just tug on the HVAC knobs all 3 of them, and then you will see 2 screws, and just unscrew those, and there you go the bulbs are exposed.
I might have missed some things on explainin' stuff [it's been long since i've done it]
Also it may seem like alot of steps to do, but i've done it so many times, it's so easy to do now.
