Title: air vent illumination
Post by: amba on 20 April 2007, 09:58:38

can anyone tell me how to replace the bulbs in the centre front air vent grilles on a 1998 elite saloon..have managed to replace both side vent illuminations but would be nice if centre ones were illuminated aswell...assuming it does not involve a total dash removal as seems too much effort for 60p bulbs

Thanks for info guys...can you get access to the bulbs and holders just by popping out the 2 air vents or do you need the entire cover removed as in the attached "how to " which i appreciate...can lay my hands on 2 butter..well margarine..knives but the thought of removing wire connecters is somewhat daunting..knowing what mega electrics can be like !!!
