Replacing interior cabin filters

im sure this has been asked before, and its probably in the DIY section as well, but im blondicapped so bear with me.

Honda wants to charge me $150 to replace my interior cabin filters (also called A/C filter) and the intake filter, BUT my friend hooked me up with OEM replacement filters for $25 so I can just do it myself.
The Honda service guys like to make all the service things sound outrageously difficult, so they are saying its SOOO hard to change the cabin filters and you have to take off the whole dash, and Im not buyin it...
So how do I change them? I mean i can do the engine filter, thats a brainless chore, but the cabin filters? I dunno even where they are....?

Can anyone give me some basic instructions as to how they do this?

ive done it, its simple just drop your glove box door down and remove the small panel right behind it there are two filters in there you cant miss them. pull the left one out and slide the right one over and pull it out. just do the reverse when you put it back together.

but all you really need to do is blow them out with air thats all i do and i live in the desert
