They're dead easy to change. Just clip off the black platic cover, reach in and pull out the bulb in its holder. Twist out the bulb and, as they say in all the manuals, replacement is the reverse of removal. A 2 minute job. They're an off-set bayonet fitting but not a very snug fit in my A8 or S8. So I'm looking to replace them with LEDs like these: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/bax9-offs...0f65479dcfdf77.
If you want to replace with normal bulbs, your local car spares shop should stock them.

Possibly a stupid question but will the light from those LED bulbs be as bright or brighter than the OEM bulbs?
Thanks
