Arrow Anyone know how to change these?

I have 87300TDT and I want to change the bulbs in the CCU. I pulled it out of the dash and I can't see anyway to get at the bulbs short of breaking it up into pieces. There are two bulbs covered over with some kind of foil tape but no way to get hold of them. If I take the cover off there is a circut board covering the bulbs and it dosen't appear to come out. Anyone know how to access them? Is there a secret to this? Any help would be great. Thanks

i have used really small diameter vacuum hose to remove and intall them, you may need to draw vacuum on the hose to keep the old bulb from slipping out, when installing the new bulbs, just insert bulb enough to hold it in place so you don't inadvertantly remove it when removing the hose and twist gently.
usually most smaller emissions type vacuum lines should work.

yes, using a piece of small diameter vacuum hose slip it on the bulb and pull out, use the new bulbs to find the correct size hose before you begin
