Just managed to find some info on an old thread.

Two of the lamps are modified to fit behind the fascia of the heater controls.

To remove air vent fascia from the centre of the dashboard - remove the two screws just underneath the air vents and carefully pull air vent fascia off.

Remove the three adjustment control *****.

Remove the two screws from the heater control back plate (the fascia with the control pictures on!).

Remove existing lamps & holders from back plate.

Unclip back plate leaving the clear plastic diffuser showing.

Insert lamps into the old lamp positions but from the opposite side from which the original lamps were removed (ie insert lamps into clear diffuser side with the back of the lamp poking through the back plate).

Refit back plate & reconnect lamp holders to modified lamps – go careful no to bend the connection wires on the back of the lamps (this is a bit of a challenge due to not having much cable to play with!!).

At this stage, turn side lights on to check that the lamps are all functioning. If any lamps are not working, remove lamp holder, turn around and re-connect.

Refit heater control back plate.

Refit the three adjustment control ***** & air vent fascia (reverse of above!).

The above Instructions are a guide on how to do the conversion.
