instrument panel back light illumination help

[toast27]

Has anyone had to change the bulbs for the instrument panel back lights? my odometer backlights are out and the local dealer wants 125.00 to change the bulbs.
I don't doubt that's the cost if the air bag/steering wheel have to come off to get at the bulbs.

Is the dealer tiring to pull a fast one? does the wheel have to come out and access the bulbs from the front side of the dash ?

thanks in advace for the help.
