An led draws so little current, you can leave it continuously connected and lit up for weeks with no effect on the battery.

push the heater bits all the way downwards until they click once then you should be able to see the top two screws (which are also holding the mfd) the bottom 2 screws are behind the slide bit that you have to prise out with a screwdriver, hope this helps

hey mate did u managed to get behind the center dash?

There are three clips into the back of the heater knobs...u unclick them (tough to do use a screwdriver to prise them) Then unclip the white bit and then the black bit with vents, you can then take out the whole bit and leaves enough space to drill through the side bit(ish)

Hope you undertand hope it helps dude :)
