You'll start with this, mmmmmmmmmm standard!

Get your kitcen knife, put it in the cotten sock (thinnest) and push it under the right hand side of the cover.

If done correctly you should be able to run the knife under the entire edging of the plastic bulb cover and it should pop off, you now need to slide it towards the windscreen to take it off.

You will be greeted with this :

Same way as always to get the 501 bulbs out (right and left bulbs), grab tissue and place over the bulbs, pull downwards and put in a safe place. Put tissue over the new bulbs and push them into the holders.

If done right you should have :

The 264 bulb is just as simple, put tissue over the bulb and push it either to the left of right while pulling downwards, this will free the bulb and you can put it somewhere safe. Put your tissue over the new bulb, put it in one side and push on the bulb a little whichever side you put it in and push up, the bulb should go straight into the holder.

If done correctly you should have this :

Take your cover and place the 2 pins in position before pushing it back into place :

And that's it, your interior has a new shine! Enjoy!

UPDATE :

OK as the 264 bulb is now in I decided to get some more night pictures. I love the look of the interior at night now, it is a lot brighter but looks so cool in my opinion :

Cheers, great guide.

Worth mentioning that the plastic cover bit is attached by two little prongs at the long edge nearest the rear of the car and general grippyness round the other edges so you don't actually need to use a knife at all, Just pull down from the long edge nearest the windscreen and it'll come right off.
