jay_russell ok mate. good news, you might have to swap them around if they dont work Smile leds run only one way. simple to do. remove the 4 screws on the back of the unit and there you will see a blub holder with a black and red wire comming out of them just do a 180 on it so it sits the other way, same with the clock. i cant test it on mine as it's different fittings Smile and yes :ttiuwp: and i cant wait to see the pics of it fitted and looking good

Ok so the clock works and so dose the heated window switch and the air con and the one for air coming from outside car. The one for recycling the air in the car dose not work neither do the lights for the temperature , the fan settings or the direction for the air flow . Do I need to take out the control panel and do something in there ???

Moley, take the unit out of the car (make a note of the ones that are not working first), turn the unit around and remove the 4 screws holding the unit face on. For each bulb that's not working, pop it out and put it back in turned 180 degrees. Then they should all work Smile

:biggrin: that's my understanding of Jay's post on what could possibly go wrong, anyway...

Beat me to it Dave! That sounds about right. LED bulbs will only work one way, though can easily be fitted either way. I believe Jay has essentially just guessed! As he was not able to test his end. A quick 180 should see those ones lit also.

When you take the back off , which I have done all you get is a circuit board and you cant see the bulbs. but there is a black and red cables that have a bit of silicone on them so you cant do anything to them.

Not sure if I should remove the circuit board and start messing about inside or not !!

Never opened this particular unit, I'm speaking generically about LEDs, so can't help here, sorry. Jay'll be along soon, I'm sure.

Jay said the black and red cables led to the bulb holders, shouldn't they just twist out in order to access the bulbs?

Yes, I imagine they are twist and pull to remove, a bit like a bayonet light bulb in your house! Then the LEDs pull just out the holder, reverse them and fit them back in. (Guessing here, but expect I am right.)

yer mate, just turn around the bulb holder with the red / black wires in it and the fit it again, it's hard as they dont fit in my car so i cant test it 100%, but after i have done the last one i can send you the unit to replace the not working bulb.
