changing centre console aircon light on 1998 camry

[Pfederations]

hey guys, i tried to change the lights which show the aircon controls on my 1998 camry.

However when i removed the cover for the centre console and unscrewed the section which held the aircon controls it came out as one large box.

I tried pulling but the wires behind it held it in place. I couldnt find anyway of opening it to change the bulbs. any help?

its probably inside the box, or LED's... you will need to disassemble the switch box.

if they are LED the will prob need to be desoldered

its a bit of a b***h to do, i've done it before on mine.

im guessing you know how to remove the trim around the radio etc... then once thats off there are 4 screws from memory in each of the corners of the aircon unit... you need to detach the face there are heaps of annoying clips around the box that need to be undone so that you can remove the face piece, once thats off 'from memory' it might just come out, if not its not that hard, then you'll see the little light that needs to be replaced..

hope that makes sense, im sleep deprived at the moment
