looks pretty good. the only thing i would do differently is use a led globe in there, cause it's a pain to change and a led globe will last a lot longer than a standard globe.
but it's good to see people doing write ups especially for people who haven't done it before |

holy crap that's expensive...fair enough then, i guess unless you have the headlights on all the time you probably wouldn't go through one non led globe in the life of the car...

Or you just grab the bottom of the console near the handbrake, stick your hand in and twist out the bulb holder and change it that way
Helps if you know where you need to feel though, like headlight bulbs, always easier the 2nd 3rd...400th time I have done that dozens of times in the taxis I did it your way the first time....once |

IT'S a t10 size bulb
and the cheap market LEDs do last less than your traditional globes. From my experience anyway. I've been through tons. And need to replCe my blue shifter one now!
