The switchs generally just press into the wheel on the older GM cards. You can usually just pry the switch out with a small screwdriver and then unplug it. I'm not sure however if you can change the bulb or not, generally i just buy a new switch or go to the junkyard. I've never had the switches out of the TA before so i'm not sure about the bulb.

You cannot change the LED's...well, you could but Im sure you dont want to... what you want to do is get yourself another set fo the steerig wheel controls from ebay or some other source, and then just plug those into the steering wheel.

the bulb is soldered in, and I was told unless you can unsolder it, and solder a new one back in, you cant replace it. It doesnt just come out. Both of mine are out, and I think its better with them out. Less lights inside at night

It just kinda bothers me that just one of them is out. On my old v6 firebird, they both went out, then a year later one of them came on out of no where.

It is actually an easy thing to do... You just break the old bulbs with needle nose plyers and solder the new ones back in, took me about 20 min. each side i used the write up

The write up is what I actually need, but the link to it is not working. But is that pretty much all you do. And if so, where do I get the bulbs from. Thanks.
