fyfie5 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 i was just wondering if you could change the light in the ash tray on the cetre console, i cant feel a light and would you have to take the whole thing out to change it? just curious as i dont think anyone has done it before.

Nabil83 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 u have to take the central console out before u can get to it i believe it's held by 3 screws one on each side and one at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I don't see the point in changing it unless its for a brighter one. A coloured on will be as bad as not having one at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfie5 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 yeh suppose but i was just curious on how easy it would be as i store a few things in there would be better with a white led or something else as i fancied a different colour as i want to try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebabby Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 you dont have to take any thing other than the astray out mate iv changed mine for a green one some time ago and looks alot better !i cant remember exactly how i did it i think i just took the ashtray out and unscrewd the steel mounting bracket to gain access .you cant use an LED as the light on the led is focused to the top ov the bulb and the ashtray light is a normal bulb ?give it a go mate but i will say it was a pain in the wee bum you will need a small mirror a torch a philips or position screwdriver and alot ov patiants i will take a pic ov mine tonight and post it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
