I don't know why you would leave it to a pro, it is just a nut you
loosen on the threaded end of the lever, then the lever screws out,
nothing to lose (but something to loose). It goes into a rather
substantial piece of metal at the bottom, you'll see it.

Removing the shift lever is a job best left to a professional, since there
is a major downside of disabling the car) if I screw it up by either losing
or breaking one of those vital small parts that allow one to shift the

Yeah, what he said. If you ever need to remove the shift lever, it has a
little (capture? I think you call that arrangement) nut at the bottom you
loosen then you can screw out the lever. To put it back, screw it down to
where you want it, lined up properly, then tighten the nut to hold it tight.

Its not as hard as you think
- Remove ash tray, and ash tray frame (2 screws). You'll have to
disconnect the connector for the cig lighter that attaches to the
frame. Just pry the frame out of the console, starting with the right
side. Connector is on the left.
- Lift up front edge of wood... slide the whole piece back a bit to
clear the bin that holds the back part of the wood down. Then you
can lift it up. This might take a little wiggling, as the wires, etc
restrict movement.
- Now reach under and disconnect windows, hazard sw, fader, etc. Remove
wood.
- Bulb holder is now clearly visible on the left side of the shifter
housing. Pry it out with a screw driver.
You don't need to remove the knob or the shift gate.
Remove the bulb, goto the store and match it up.
After you've done it once or twice, you can do this job in about 10
minutes.

Let's try again.
I can open up and even completely remove the wood console if I have to
but
1) do I newed to remove the *shifter knob*, and 2) *where will I find the
elusive bulb*?

Opening up the 126 and 123 console is not that hard, I always have to
review the section in the manual because I always forget the steps. I
have
discovered that a little swiveling inspection mirror is a wonderful tool
to
observe all those hidden bits.
What were they thinking? Our German bulbs last a lifetime...

What do I have to remove to get at this mystery bulb? Both PW switches,
4
way flasher, fader switch and the console wood?? The shifter knob
itself??
If there is a bulb it has to be TINY and nearly INACCESSIBLE. Is it
unique? What were they thinking?

There was a wire leading in but I felt around and couldn't find a bulb.
It's there, keep trying.
