The easiest way to remove the sunglass holder is to slide a credit card or 
driver's license between it and the OBC.  The credit card will depress the 
latch, allowing you to remove the sunglass holder.

Once it's out, the OBC drops out, and you can replace the bulbs.

NOTE: If you disconnect the wiring from the OBC, all settings and 
information (MPG, limit, code, etc) will be lost and will need to be reset.
