you need to remove the plastic trim (silver / wood / black) and then unscrew the switch housing, the bulbs are very awkward to change

Hi devil.
Are you talking about the switches that you press on and off with the lights in them? If you are then you need to buy a new switch unit complete. They are about 25 pounds in the UK. You cannot buy the bulbs from your Opel dealer because they are soldered into the switch.

To remove the switch from the console you need to use two screwdrivers, one each side, to lever it out. It comes out just like a plug from a socket. It is best to put some tape under the screwdrivers so you don't damage the other switches you are levering against.

There is another option. You can buy small bulbs from electronic shops but you need to solder them in and it is a difficult job to do. Hope you can understand all this. If you need any more advice then just post it on here again.
