Hey all!

I've recently had a bulb behind my air conditioner control ***** blow out, and I'm looking to replace it. Judging on how much of the panel isn't lit, I'd say there are two bulbs behind the panel shown here on Real OEM:

Any help on getting behind that control panel and figuring out what bulb I need is much appreciated!

 

I did it a couple of years ago. Full instructions here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-gen...rol-panel.html

They are actually clear bulbs behind orange lenses. Change both bulbs while you're at it. Very annoying how much work it involves. Although the bulbs can be changed, the panel was not really designed for it.

 

Thank you! Awesome how-to; I'll be following this sometime after work this week.
