Severely annoyed! did a search for the bulbs to fit my dash ordered them, after postman pat stike they finally arrived today for me to discover theyre the wrong ones whoever wrote the thread i got the info from needs banning

so i thought sod it i can order some more at least and set to work on my heater panel as the bulbs were flicking on and off, bad idea to completely take one apart, the hot/cold heater wire is a right pain to get back on and ive sucessfully managed to slice my fingers on every bit of plastic behind there

but i did find a random wire, whats this for? mfd?

Re-assembly after doing that is not fun, talking from experience. Why did you take the whole thing out though when you only needed to take the centre console plastic off to change the bulbs?

Agree with everyone that said its a pain!

Put it all back together once to find the fan direction blower wasnt working, took it all out again to put the wire back on, 2 sliced hands later everything was ok

putting it all back is the worst bit mate, takes a decent hour or two and 4 hands
