hi guys,

The only way to get to the bulb in the middle is remove the whole centre section. I have removed this and i would not recommend it to anyone! Below the radio i have mounted the cage for the 2nd radio - keeping the original, but having the second as a flip screen. The bulb in the middle is at the back on coin type holder and to get that out is a right pain in the ass! it is attached to the top half of the coin holder and the two side mounts are fixed behind the two left and right hand panels - so you need to remove alot to get to it... easily do able tho if not time consuming! will take photo today if time as mine is still apart as fitting head unit still.

In that case, if my middle bulb fails, I'll either get it replaced under warranty or live without it!

Zack, what bulbs have you replaced them with and have you noticed a significant difference?

Or you could add SMD strips

Instead of changing the bulb i just added a 30cm. SMD strip to the ambient light, and damn it lights up the footwell



Color: red
Voltage: 12V
Number of bulbs: 15 SMD LEDs
Wire length: 50cm
Strip length: 30cm
Self-adhesive back with 3M double side adhesive tape
