Hi
I have not used my car at night for some time (!) but from memory the window lifter switches on the central console were illuminated. Neither of mine have illumination now and I assume that if the switches have bulbs they are minature and not replaceable.
Would appreciate confirmation of my units being faulty before I go hunting for replacements.
Many thanks.
Pat
P.S. See some of you at Silverstone, with or without full lighting!

Re: Switch Illumination
Correct, you have to replace the switches. Michael does (or used to do) an exchange service for these, he replaced mine at the Technical Day few years ago.
Re: Switch Illumination
Pat,
Some second hand ones here
eBay item 320921566005 gives you a set of 4 £7.99 plus £5.00 postage.
It's the same switch as fitted to the e32 and e34.
See you at Zedfest.

Re: Switch Illumination
Many thanks Jet and Ivor. Have bought the switch unit that Ivor spotted and hopefully that will fix the problem at very modest cost.
More power and many thanks to the Forum!

Re: Switch Illumination
The tabs in the panel that hold the switches are quite fragile - be v careful swapping out the switches lest you need to replace the panel as well.
Re: Switch Illumination
I would agree with Felix about the fragile tabs. I've recently had a new alarm/immobiliser fitted and as the fitter removed the window switches from the panel, the tabs dropped off.Fortunately, I found them on the floor of the car and they seem just to be a push fit. One thing I noticed is that the passenger side window has a single touch up or down facility but the driver's side doesn't. I suppose the switches have been removed and inverted at some time. I was thinking of putting that right one evening before Zedfest and replacing the faulty bulb in one of them, but now I learn that the bulb isn't separately replaceable.
Thanks for that guys.
Now what about replacing bulbs behind the rotary heater switches?

Re: Switch Illumination
Those you can replace, remove the radio and all heater knobs and switches, panel screws are located underneath, bulbs you can get from OEM.ChrisS wrote: Now what about replacing bulbs behind the rotary heater switches?
