Hi im trying to change the bulbs in the back of the obc and wanted to know if theres any way of doing it without removing the obc from the dash?? ive removed the stereo and glove box but not the centre console. I can see a green connector at the bottom of the obc and a white plug at the top.
I removed the white plug which is just basically a connector plug but no wires.
does anyone have a photo of the back of an obc to show me where the bulbs are

cheers

alrite mate, i assume you mean LCD bulbs not button bulb?

if so, u can do it without removing it, i did mine this time last week funily enough

once the cd player is removed, you may need to take the top two screws holdin in the OBC out DONT DRPO EM THO :lol:

then on the right of the obc at the side, use a pair of needlenose pliers ( i did) to pull ou the bulb holder out and put the new one back in place.

although it doesnt sound good the dash and OBC can be bent forwards and backwards, there ridgid but malluable if u get me

fcukin fiddly job but easy enough, i did my coding plug at the same time without removing it

good luck
