Changing ignition ring bulb

So getting into the steering column is easy, but once I'm there, I can't seem to work out how to go about replacing the ignition ring bulb.
There is a little black plug coming from the barrel, but other than that, I can't see anything!
Is the bulb in the plug?
Do I need to remove the ignition barrel?

Now, stick your head in under there and look up from the floor, in behind the silver metal of the ignition. You'll see a T5 bulb connector in up behind there tucked away almost out of reach - pretty identical to the one on your ciggy lighter. with one finger from below, and one from dash-side, you can twist it anticlockwise and pop it out. Bit fiddly, but doable. One T5 wedge LED will pop straight into the holder... and re-assemble!

*~delightful!~*!
I looked to see if there had been anything on it before, I just must not have looked hard enough.
Thankyou!
