Dash knob light replacement?
I've noticed the light that lights up the headlight knob has stopped working. Can someone shed some light (sorry...couldn't resist) on how to get inside the knob and replace the bulb.
Many thanks, Jack

The little plastic center with the picture on the face of the knob is just snapped into the rubber. You pry that out and the little bulb is underneath that.

the headlight knob doesn't have a bulb. on the sc at least. I think Carrera is the same. the fog and defrost do have bulbs.

Really, no bulb on the headlight switch? I wonder why not? The other night when I noticed it was out I was just assuming it should have been lit. Now I'm questioning my sanity! I guess I can just pry out the plastic center piece as per Quicksilver to be sure.
