[V8] Center console light missing

[Bastian Preindl]

Hi,

this is the "hell bulb" in the V8 - I think no one is harder to exchange.

That's how we made it years ago: Remove side carpets, remove S/E/M (just 
pull), loose the screw, move wooden plate to the front (do NOT pull, you 
break the hooks otherwise) until you can easily pull it up and remove 
it. NO force when pulling, but some force when moving to the front. Ok, 
now we've loosed some screws on both sides of the middle console between 
the seats (do not loose the screws of the gearbox wires) so that we were 
able to move the tunnel a bit backwards - just far enough to be able to 
get the fingers in between. The light bulb (same as on most switches and 
buttons in the V8) is behind and approx. 5cm I'd say underneath the 
gear-display. The light is "transferred" using some kind of fiber, don't 
ask. So that's why the bulb is at that place.

Hope it helps

Bastian
