Well....im starting to think the previous owner(s) never changed ANY bulb in this car of mine. There is no light behind the heater control nor a couple of the buttons above. I have figured out how to get the buttons out and removing the front of them (by breaking one of them, oops Rolling Eyes ). What puzzles me is the heater control panel, how can i get behind that?
I already removed the panel below it (which opens the way behind the controls), but i cant see how to remove the heater control unit. (Yes im a newbie Embarassed )
Any guidelines? Or maybe....are there no bulbs behind there maybe? Wink

with the lower panel off theres 2 T20 screws either side of the panel. If you look you cannot miss them.

Then pull the panel down and wiggle it out.

Theres only 1 bulb for the heater panel unless its got A/C then theres 2.

Well, got the control unit down enough to get the bulb out.
Also, how the heck do you remove the bulbs from the buttons, ie fog lights, rear heater and those.... ?
Is it the same plug-in bulb as the heater control has? What way is the best to plug them out of the buttons ?
