Auto Gear Selector Light

Post by tonic » Wed Dec 09, 2009 9:44 pm

Hi Peeps,

The light behind the gear selector has gone out. How easy is it to get to and change, and what bulb do I need to get?

Many thanks, Toni.

One of the little capless sidelight bulbs.

Like this http://www.consumabulbs.com/files/bdet.php?id=89

Changing it is a bit of a fiddle, but fairly obvious and straightforward once you've got the console off.

Thanks.

Is it a 12v 5w that I need to get? As I want to get one before I start dismantling.

Thanks again.

I assume they are all 12v 5w if they are that size/fitting.

I used a blue LED one to replace mine when it went.

It is the same as the one under the ashtray which is very easy to get to - check that first.
