Changing interior lights/heaters

Post by fightstar »

Hello everyone, first post :)

Just managed (after help) to change bulbs in the clock to a very nice red colour.
I would also like to change the ones behind heater controls as these have all gone too, and was wondering if anyone had some pictures of there corsa, all lit up so i could see.

I also need to know where i can buy red bulbs for behind the heater controls, as these are obviously different to the ones behind the clock, and are these bulbs easy to access?

Thanks

not many users anymore unfortunatly
we need some advertising!

not sure how to change the bulbs behind the heater controls but to do the MFD (the clock, Temp and Date display)
you have to take it off,

prise down the 2 heater vents under it and there are 2 screws behind it,
undo them and the MFD should lift off,
the bulbs are on the back of it easy to accsess

oh and be very carfull when lifting off the MFD as the plug in the back is a very short wire and the pins break easly
take it steady and you should be fine
