How to access Light bulb behind Seat switch on a 140?

Hi,
Anyone know "How To" get at the light bulb behind the seat adjustment(door panel) switch on a "140" body car.This is the one that give the back light around the out line.
All that expensive wood trim has me more then nervous.
Thanks
Rafiqi.

light bulb

The panel is held in by one spring in the front, and two arms in the back. It is a little hard to describe, but the little arms pivot on pegs and can be rotated down, which releases the rear and the panel is pivoted out.
Installation is the reverse, rotate out the little arms, insert back first and the spring will catch the front.
I have had the panel out but dont remember where the bulb is, it probably is a unique bulb so get one ahead of time. I dont know what a dealer would charge, its easy once you have seen the proceedure!
