heater panel bulb? non climate control

[youngstig]

have had a bulb blow in the heater panel, only half of it is illuminated, just thought id ask on here about how to remove it to gain access to the blown bulb, looks a pain as its mainly mechanical behind there, currently doing a blue led conversion on all of the instruments, any help is appreciated.

cheers, keiran

anyone? want to sort this asap while i have the time but dont want to start unneccasarily ripping the dash apart.

The bulbs are are 'dashboard' light holders with T5 bulbs in. Plus dependant if your car is <2004 these are the same as in the centre clock display.

The get the heater panel out,you'll first need to bring the radio out until you see 2 x T20 screws.

This will loosen the heater to an extent then I rotated mine so I could get easier access.

I'm sure there are other ways this just being the quickest. Very fidly.

mines an 02 plate, ive had a look at it and i cant see any torx screws to loosen?

If you have aftermarket headunit youll need to pull out the cage too then the 2 torx will be visible.
