First off, the hazard light housing is completely different than that one shown on that link in our VX. The bulb housing in our VX hazard is a screw in type. It is quite simple once you look at it though. Ok first take dash apart then disconnect the hazard housing and then push one of or both of the tabs on the top and/or bottom of the unit, then it will pop out towards you. Yes it will come out towards you NOT in towards the dash. You will see a grey circle on the left side of the housing if you are looking at it straight on. There will also be a place for another screw in bulb below it, but that is for units like the cruise control or defroster where two bulbs are used. So your focus is the grey screw in one on the "top" above the open hole. You will need a small flat head screw driver and turn about 1/4 turn to left then the bulb will pull straight out at you, if it does not stick on the end of the scewdriver you will need needlenose pliers to get it out or turn it upside down and hope you don't drop it. The easiest thing to do once you get the housing out is undo the under side first. I found the easiest way to do this is with a micro flat head screwdriver or a sharp "ice pick" looking thing, I think you get the point (no pun intended). Once you get the bottom wires straightened you can pull to bulb straight out the other end, and then put the new bulb in and bend the new wires back around in the same manner original ones were (this is not hard to figure out there are specific grooves for each wire to go into and around). However, if you really want to do something different you can replace the bulb with a LED like I did. You have to put a resistor in there as well, but there is plenty of room and if you really want to get creative you can put the resistor "in line" on the GREEN (with red stripe) wire before it goes into the housing and then put LED by itself back in instead of the bulb. If you do this you can use a voltage regulator to figure out which screw in connector (that makes contact with the wires on the LED) is positive (GRN with Red stripe) and negative because LED's need specific + and -. Or you could just know that if the hazard housing is on the right and the pin connectors are on your left the top connection is the positive and the bottom one is the negative, which is opposite the cruise control buttom below it, I don't know why they are different, but each one is different. It is quite simple and if you screw it up just send the screw in base to me and I will ship you back a LED in there. I just recently got done completely replacing each and every single one of those interior bulbs with blue LED's to match my new DVD receiver's buttons and took notes that is the only reason I know exactly what you are about to do, it really isn't that bad. Good luck.
