<EDITED 23 DEC 07)> It is from the bulb. How do I replace it?

I previously thought it was something else===>
I'm not so sure it's from the bulb. I first felt the hot spot just a few days after getting the TCH. I frequently feel the console to see if it's gotten hot again. I've driven plenty at night, and not felt the heat usually. I've felt a very hot spot in the same area of the center console, but only after hard acceleration.The dealer actually told me that the exhaust runs through there and the engines on the hybrids run hot. Seems really odd to me, not sure I buy it.

Are there any good pics on how to dismantle the center console?
