jameslwt Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I mean the ones below the display - not the temp controls as they light up just fine. But the others never have, so I wondered if they are actually meant to? If so, where's best to get the bulbs, or is it just the usual suspects?

q-rover Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I´ve just done this. have a look The ones he is replacing are obviously ok, it´s the 3 smaller bulbs that light up the control buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good 'how to' video Although, I'm not sure that his reasons for changing them would appeal to everyone There's a page here, showing how to do it and which bulbs you need - http://www.discopedi...Climate_Control Although, I would ignore their advice to remove the Radio and its cage If Mr Rasta's butter knife trick doesn't work for you, remove the coin tray, ash tray and cupholder (six screws) and release the CC unit's clips from below. These are the bulbs - Left to Right - JWH100060 - 8510251 - JWH100070 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMatt Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The one of the left is a standard T5 14v capless with just a green rubber sock over it. The other two are neo wedges. You can get both of the internet for little money. You might even want to replace them with coloured LEDs.......very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q-rover Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You might even want to replace them with coloured LEDs.......very cool I've done that using red, rather than green, now to do the instrument backlights, but they are T10 bulbs. Then there is the clock. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q-rover Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 No point waiting. If you have the bulbs, it's a 5min job. Just done the Instrumentbinnicle and that took 10 mins, as there are 6 screws. Although I think I need better quality LEDs as the 99p for 10 from Hong Kong aren't bright enough to light up the display, but the needles are fine in the dark.
