I havent tried myself but i dont see why you wouldnt be able to do it without removing the climate control. You would have to remove the lower panel thats in my hand to see the bottem of the climate control.
Then if you can see where the bulbs are located in this pic of the bottem of the climate control then you just have to try get your hands or some pliers in there while its still in the dash to get the bulb holder out.
