Heatering switch lights

[Willsam]

Using my mates clio as an example, we both have the same year and model (both expressions). At first I thought that it was something my car didn't have but the lights on his heat switches light up and mine don't.

Wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem...

It will be the bulb behind the heater that'll have gone they're are twistlick T5 bulbs. You can access the back if the unit via the panel underneath and above cup holder. The panel needs to be pulled out towards you

Alright mate, I'll give that a try, so would I just need to start taking it apart from the bottom?

Take the panel below the heater off yes, nothing else.

Dont forget the two torque screws behind the radio. They hold it In place as well. I tried changing one of them bulbs once just by removing the under panel but u have to know what to grab and also it is well awkward.

Waiting for a day when it's not got bad weather or really windy to do this.

You need to remove the metal cage.

There are metal tabs that will needs to be bent back, these help hold the cage in.

I know about the tabs, i fitted the stereo myself, is there screws behind that which help remove it then?

Take the cage out, two torxs screws will show theme self after. Take the out, push the heater pannel back and then take it out

I've changed the bulbs without taking the heater panel out. Just a bit fiddly.
