Can anyone pass along their knowledge in removing the Climate Control Bezel on the ES300? I'm in the process of trying to replace lightbulbs for the Climate Control indicators but am having a heck of a time just getting started. Is the bezel held on by clips? Have yet to find a source that details exactly how to remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, download the Lexus factory service manual.
It has step by step instructions and illustrations on how to do anything with the car.

Basically.
Take a flat head screw driver and pry inbetween the wood bezel and trim where the wood starts to curve down.

These are held on by clips, so the wood should pop right out. Make sure to tape the tip fo the screw driver
then, remove the black plastic trim piece (the part underneath the radio) open the cup holder for more room, and pull the piece outwards.
Remove 4 screws holding the cup holder/ash tray assembly. then remove the assembly.
Remove the center vent trim above the climate control (you'll need to look inside, and pry up the plastic tabs, and pull outwards.
Then. remove all the screws holding the climate control and radio out.
pull the transmission gear selector all the way back, and remove the radio.
