2. Remove the four 10 mm bolts holding the plastic panel located below the steering column; the panel then pulls out with a little care and resistance. The hood release cable/handle will still be attached, but that is okay. This panel has to be removed as it overlaps the bottom, right hand side of the black instrument bezel.
3. Remove the plastic housing from around the steering column. There is one screw on the bottom along with two screws that are only accessible when the steering wheel is in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. You have to carefully snap the two sections apart to remove. (You may be able to skip this step, but it did provide additional clearance when I removed the instrument cluster as described below.)Good Luck!

This is probably the "correct" method but I just removed the screw below the ignition and pulled the panel away from the ignition switch to get the "bezel" off - I guess you could call it a shortcut.
I only paid a couple bucks for my bulb. Here's a site you can order from or the dealer can order them also.

I checked my part number and it is probably for the overhead console? - Your part number comes back for the instrument panel.
