I'm not sure if the 2005 is different or not. I did it for my 2000 Aero, and my Haynes book shows the same procedure for up to 2004.
1.) Gently pry up the selector lever trim (I think it has four tabs) then remove the position indicator panel.
2.) Remove the green strip and slider and the graded strip (you'll see it). Be careful to see how they go together so you can get them back right. I ruined the green strip by not doing it right and had to made a new one with translucent green plastic cause you can't buy them.
3.) Use a piece of tubing to grab the old bulb and replace it with a new one.
4.) Put everything back together, being careful to get the plastic film strips correct. There's a little knob that one of them "hooks" on to via a hole in a side tabs on, I think, the green strip.
