I have the vehicle listed above EX-P all-wheel drive. The light is out on the gear selector window. How do I remove the cover around the shift stick to replace the bulb?

I am attaching the process from the manual for not only the cover that needs to come off but to remove the shifter and the bulb location.

There are certain types of clips that you need to remove so just be careful not to break them. If you do, then just take them to a parts store and you will be able to find replacements so it's not the end of the world.

The bulb is just a common peanut bulb that you can get at any parts store as well. If you have questions, just remove it, and take it to the store to compare it.

Please run through the steps below and let us know what questions you have.

Thanks
