How do you replace HVAC & Radio light bulbs in a 2000 Mustang

Lost about half the lights in the HVAC controls and a few in the radio buttons. After 10 years, I pretty much know them without having to see them. It's just a minor annoyance that has been bugging for years, especially when another one burns out.
Would appreciate your help understanding what to remove and the proper order so I don't bust anything and wind up spending some real bucks. It's getting old so the plastic bits are probably getting a little brittle.

Thanks!

I would TOTALLY recommend you buying the haynes manual. It'll have all the info you need and you'll use it for the life of the car.

For the HVAC you will need to pull/tug the center council plastic trim surround off,be gentle,it can break,then you will see 4 small bolts holding holding the controls on,once you got them out,then pull gently on the controls so you don't pull to hard on any wires,and vacuum lines,and on the backside you will see a couple of sockets,twist them off,and your golden.
For the radio,unless you are will to tear the whole radio apart,your better off upgrading.
