Lights out

Does anyone have any experience with replacing any dash lights on a 07.5 Laramie??
The seat heaters, the electric rear window, and the exhaust brake control bulbs are burned out as well as the ash tray bulb. These are the bulbs behind the control switches. I've tried the 2 screws behind the ash tray but nothing seems to come loose enough to get the Laramie face plate off. Very annoying with these bulbs out at night.
I learned how to get at them with the 04.5 but the 07.5 seems tighter to get to, plus I don't want to break or scratch anything up getting to them.
Thanks for any help.

Are they not covered under warranty?


I think id let the dealership mess with pulling the dash apart on a 06+, if its covered under warranty. 03-05 dashes are pretty easy to take apart, but even still if its covered id let them fix it for free.

He's out of warranty, he has like 170k on his truck I believe.

Not sure about the lights, I have never fiddled with taking my dash off.

Been OFF warranty for about 140k miles now. I believe the truck only had a 3yr/36k mile warranty and I currently have 170k+ miles.
Soooo, anybody have any experience changing out these bulbs?? Any Dodge techs take the dash apart on a Laramie yet??
