Heater illumination bulbs

[Freebird]

Hi all

The bulbs illuminating the heater temperature readout have both expired which is annoying now that it's constantly dark.

Hopefully this link will take you to a photo of the offending bulb, it has a brown base.



Does anyone know where I can buy some?

Cheers

Glen.

Hi Glen,

I changed several dash bulbs, on my last X300, and I have several left over. Not sure if they will work, but happy to send them to you as no use to me now. Send me a personal message with address and will post.

Hi Andy

The bulbs arrived today and now everything works. I can't thanks you enough.

For future reference the brown ones are part number JLM11965.

Cheers

I have lost the lighting on my heater panel, X300 1996 Executive, radio and clock all lit, you lads seem to know the way around the bulb changes, how do I do I start chaps? Thanks in anticipation. Ron. York City.

Ron,

Others will be able to better answer, as mine were done a few years ago now! From memory, the whole central panel comes out easily enough, there are videos on YouTube showing how, if you can't find let me know and will send a link. Once out it is quite easy to remove the heater control panel and then you can access the bulbs, alas I forget where I got the bulbs from though, plenty of suppliers though, try Eurojag.

Andy, thanks for all that, the video is clear, once the ski-slope is out of the way, we are in luck, I will wait till the temp rises a bit, and order some bulbs prior. Take care.

Good luck, it's easy once you've done it! One thing to watch, the console holding the controls is bulky and just held by 4 screws at each corner, be sure to make sure it is well supported when removing those screws to avoid damaging the screw holders. Once they are out it should just slide out.
