Replace light globe on gear selector console.

Hi,

Prado '97 Grande Auto. I can't see how to replace the light globe on the Auto gear selector console. It still comes up on the dash panel but not on the console. I checked the manual but couldn't find any reference to it there.

Anyone know how to replace this?

unscrew the low range selector knob , pull out little pocket under ashtray space, pop out the trim clips either side of the centre consol towards each side footwell, the consol should lift up, handbrake on, auto shifter to 1 to allow consol to slide rearward s from under the ashtray radio section, this can either be turned 90 degrees after being lifted over the transfer lever or remove the auto shift lever to allow better access, either way the bulb can now be accessed from the drivers side you should see the wires going up under the gear indicator window twist and pull to remove replace with a T10 bulb ,
last time mine was just loose , after some corrogations over Xmas it is loose again , next time I will blue tac or hot glue it in!
