It has been years since I replaced this bulb, but when I did it, there was no problem. If you remove the chrome bezel, I think that the placement of the bulb is obvious. You may need a little "blub twisting tool" to reach in and change it. If you don't have one, it can sometimes be fabricated out of a small length of rubber tubing. The pushbuttons on '61, '62, '63 Imperials are illuminated with a section of panelescent lighting. 1960 and before utilize a light bulb.
