You will need to remove the glove box. Its simple. 3 x 8mm nuts inside the glove box, 2 x 8mm at base of glove box in footwell and 1 more behind the end cover of dash.
Take these out. Drop box and light is easy to change.

No worries dude. Only know that as i had to have glove box out today, as the dreaded glovebox hinge fault struck me yet again!

Seems a bit of a ball ache just to change a bulb though

It is abit. But takes all of 5mins to do really

Is there plenty of slack in wires to let it (glovebox) sit on the floor or do I need to be careful? I got the iPod dock in there also

Theres plenty of slack. Shouldnt be too much of an issue. If not sit in passenger side and rest on legs

Just nipped out now and it turns out the cover does pop out, just needed to put the screwdriver in the right place to lever it if anyone needs to know there is a notch on the left hand side of cover, stick screwdriver in there and it comes out
