Aircon control panel illumination - 06 Linear vert
« on: 10 August 2011, 01:55:50 PM »
My vert has the lower spec heater/aircon rather than ACC, and the left-hand half of the control panel now fails to illuminate.  I understand how to remove the panel, but anyone know how to replace the bulb, or LED or whatever provides the light, please?

Many thanks in advance

OK you've been kept in suspense long enough  ;D

It's dead easy!  Take the panel out, and the bases of the bulbs can be seen.

I (mis)used a pair of circlip pliers to turn the bulbs - bayonet style - and they drop out.  Funniest looking bulbs I've seen though, fortunately mine worked OK after jer-jiggling.
