The bulb on my sunroof control has never worked, did have a look at it but the tiny bulb is hard solderd onto the motor board and is a real bugger to do but it you want to do it then get a new led bulb and solder 2 long legs to it and then solder the new legs to the original.fiddly but doable. ::)

Sorry slightly off-topic, but does everyone have very very very dim backlight on the main lights control knob, to the extent that it can only be noticed when parked inside mountain cave on a moonless night?  :o

I bought a control off Ebay that had been modified with the blue LED's, now that you can see, even in daylight! In fact I liked it so much I changed all the fascia switches, the gearshift indicator and all the window switches for the blue LED's.
