Technical Few easy steps to replace air conditioner bulbs
I had to replace all of the bulbs, 4 of them in total. There are four bolts. It is better experience controlling the ac/heater with lights onView attachment 186340View attachment 186341View attachment 186342View attachment 186343View attachment 186344View attachment 186345View attachment 186346View attachment 186347
I am wondering how you managed that so easily! There is a guide here which also makes it sound easy.
On my car once you attempt to remove the switch cover it just does not want to come out. In the end I took off the handbrake cover and all the other parts that seemed to be in the way.
I think I broke one of the location tabs above the switches because there has been a buzzing on the motor way sometimes ever since but I have been reluctant to open it up and risk breaking something else.

I like to replace those tiny bulbs for led versions, but that's only possible if there's enough space, cause those led ones are slightly longer...

My MK2B is like yours, fairly easy to get the centre console out, my daughter's MK2 had a different handbrake / gearlever surround and that had to come out to get the centre console out!
Same as mine then. Doing mine was an unbelievable mission but it made a huge difference to the experience of driving the car.
I suppose i am going to have to get it apart again and repair that clip or whatever I broke so the annoying very slight buzzing noise stops.
