General Dash led broken?

[powered_up_pac_man]

Just noticed on the way home tonight that there's hardly any light coming from behind the rhs of the lower dash panel(heater control & air circ. button). It's still bright on the LHS of the dash, but there's just a dim glow behind the rhs. Does anyone know what size bulb is behind the dash and what the process is to change it?

standard capless bulb (not LED), easy enough to change.

Ok, do the heater controls come out easy enough once the stereo's out?

 

[T14086]

I dont take the heater control out

I was just guessing :shrug: What way do you do it?

 

[T14086]

radio pins, 20mm torx driver, carrot, mirror, long noise pliers.


One of the above is a lie

It's a 10mm torx driver isn't it? You liar...

Cheers.

no its the carrot

pull out radio & metal cage....use mirror to locate bulb(s) at back of panel & push/pull out bulbs with long nose pliers....then eat the carrot.

We've got one.

Problem is that it won't fit the bulb for you.

Personally I take off the trim on the centre console in the passenger footwell and go through there. Just got to be careful of the randomly found razor-sharp edges!

but the razor-sharp edges add to the excitment
