Not even close.

All you have to do is pop out the switch and pull the bulb out. You will probably be best off just getting the bulb from the dealer as its a small one.

Not hard at all. I think I removed my switch from behind.

Even with shipping, I'd rather deal with these guys.
Besides, who doesn't need a new set of wiper blades?
Maybe the trip selector and reset bulbs as well?

You will need 2 of them to replace the sunroof switch lights. You WILL need to remove the entire front panel. It is very easy to do this.

Like Fatty said, you can pull it out from the front. However, you are almost guaranteed to scratch it up and most likely break it.

There's a bulb in the sunroof switch!? I'm pretty sure mine is dark. Maybe I should look into that since I replaced all the other bulbs that were out.

I did it 3 times on twice on mine and once on a friends CL and it never was scratched nor broke.

Never broken or scratched mine.

You could always pull off the lower knee panel and reach your hand up and push it out if your worried about it.
