I am trying to replace the bulb that illuminates the right heater control knob, but I'm not sure how to get to it. I have tried to remove the front panel but the knobs stay in place and I can't access the rear. Is there anyone who has a good way to replace that bulb?

Unfortunately the entire dash board needs to come off. In order to to do you’ll need to remove seats central console an then the dash board would come off or a least you need to make some space to replace those bulbs.

Maybe I should have updated this here, but I was able to replace the bulb without removing the dashboard. I removed the glove box and I was able to squeeze my hand up into the dashboard to remove the bulb. I could barely reach it but I was able to pull on the wires to get the bulb out, getting it back in was a pain but after some time I managed to get it in.

That was awesome that you could replace those light bulbs that way which I think it’s easier. In my case I was replacing the entire dash boar and it work for me at the time but now thanks to you I know a better way to replace those hard to reach bulbs which in the future I would like to replace the green plastic because in my car they kind of wore out and the light is not green any more.
Sorry for the late reply but I’m not very active in the forum.
