Replacing Switch bulbs
 
Does anyone know how to replace the bulbs in the switches for the handsfree link in a 2004 tl? The ones with the telephone icons.

35896-SEP-A02 is the part number. it looks like you only have to pop the plastic cover and turn the bulb out with a flathead screwdriver. i'm not 100% sure. i have a canadian TL so they dont come with HFL. hopefully it helps!

Thanks Hata you were exactly right. I popped off the cover and there were two screws holding the switch assembly in place. I removed the screws pulled it out slightly, pushed on the connector release with a long thin screwdriver and the whole thing came out. I removed the bulb by twisting it with a flathead screw driver and replaced it with the new one. The only tricky part was the connector. It's a little difficult to get at because the wires to it aren't very long and you don't have much room between the steering column and the connector on the switch assembly.

Almost forgot. The connector release needs to be pushed in while re-connecting the switch assembly otherwise it won't go in.
