Steering wheel lights

Does anyone know how to change these things. Mine went out on the right side. Can the switch cover be removed or do I have to take out the friggin airbag?

The switch and the bulb can be removed...and yes you must remove the airbag with the 4 screws behind the steering wheel.Its easy.(I went throught this) Then the switch can be pulled out.Do this carefully it will be a bit stubborn at first but if you jiggle it , it will pull out.Putting it back will require you to first push in the rubber switch cover and then push the assembly back in and whille holding it , snap the connector back in. Replace the airbag and you should be good to go.Enjoy!
