Don't think it ment to b soldered on ?, usually just replace the blown bulb with new one, push in type,that's what i thought you did, i have blown bulb in mine as well but can't release the centre nob on the console, it jammed on tight and no sign of release clip for it neither. :(

why did you glue them on? and just have to get pliers and keep trying mate try moving it back and forth maybe a little heat from hairdryer or something just so it softens the glue.

well after a long day at work patience was running thin plus the extra layer of paint was just that lil bit to much for them to pop back on but i just carry some super glue in the glovebox just incase
