Can someone post the link on how to change the bulbs that light the gear selector markings beside the gear lever in the centre console.
I can't seem to find a reference in the archive.
Thanks

If you follow the link in my sig to the "AC Panel Bulbs", the first part of the tutorial will show how to remove the panel. There are two multiway plugs under the panel once you lift it up, just unplug them and remove from the car. There are a couple of phillips screws from what I remember holding a cover on underneath, remove those and the two bulbs are then obvious.
I can do a couple of pics over the weekend if you need anything else.

Yes found Tigerfish's link - very helpful.
Before I start to pull things apart I am assuming the shifter surround at the centre console is back lit with the light coming on with the interior lights. I only get the light that identifys the gear that has been selected.
Am I correct - if so where will I find the bulbs?
My workshop manual makes no reference at all to any backlighting.

Hope these help. Mine has two different types of bulb holder, yours will probably just have the grey ones.
