Random question for you!
Any idea where i can get hold of more of the little green lights that light up the rear heater controls?
Thanks

Its a T5 white capless bulb... (From memory) Gain access to it from behind the panel, twist the holder to remove...

If you remove the plastic trim round the aircon controls, you can reach up behind the panel to access the bulb holder which should pull up with a little twist. Having thin bendy-back hands also helps :)

You meant the actual green lens.... The tab broke on mine & they do drop out... I glued mine back in..

You could try drilling a larger diameter hole & use something like this wired into the existing circuit...?? http://www.thetoolboxshop.com/0-607-34- ... 4845-p.asp

There is a kind of box section behind the panel with the lens that the bulb holder screws to that acts as a housing for the bulb... But it is pop riveted on! (i think?) :wink:

I would think any of the Bongo converters like JAL would have boxes full of those units as they remove them to fit the sink /cooker units ..

FYI - I got one of these from a scrapy once & they do tend to break in half, so swapping the entire panel may be a safer bet.
