Has anyone ever changed the clocklight in 2K and up I30? How do you do it?

You first have to remove the console vent cover directly below the clock. I have an exploded view that I can email you but for now I will try to describe the procedure. Remove the cover by inserting a flat screwdriver into the seam directly to the right or left of the console vent cover. Cover the tip of the screwdriver with a rag to prevent scratches during removal. Pry each side of the cover towards you until th clips that hold it in place break (don't worry they won't literally break) free. After you remove the cover, you will see 2 phillips screw holding the top console cover. The clock is attached to the top cover by an additional pair of phillips screws which are located behind the clock. Remove the screws that attach the top cover to the dash and pull the top cover towards you while you lift it slightly away from the dash. You should now be able to access the screws that hold the clock to the top cover. Now you can remove the bulbs by twisting the bulb holders. Make sure you use a screwdriver with a wide enough tip otherwise you will just chew up the bulb holders. Install the new bulbs (they are only $8 at http://www.everythinginfiniti.com/ part number 248603Y101 courtesy of http://www.infinitihelp.com/Ownershi.../ITB03-065.htm) and reinstall the clock, topcover and bottom cover.
