Instructions
- Pull off the 3 knobs which control the temperature, fan speed and blower direction
- Remove the oblong fascia panel behind, which clips in place.
- Now the bulbs simply pull out, and the new ones push in.
Notes
The panel was originally designed to have the bulbs changed from the back - the bulb holders would simply pop out to give access to the bulb, and snap back in. For this reason there’s a good chance of pushing the holder off its seat while inserting the bulb and losing the whole thing behind the dash. If this has already happened - here’s a way round it - It calls for a bit of keyhole surgery:
- Drill a small hole adjacent to the bulb holder
- Using a piece of piano wire, its quite easy to clip them back in place.
- The same piece of wire will hold them in position while replacing the bulb.
Spare Parts
The bulb detail is: Exterior/Interior Bulb 12V 1.2W Model 286 They're available at Halfords for about £1.79
