E280 W210 dashboard lights

[Matt_Bigwood]

I've recently bought a 1996 E280 automatic, and I'm very pleased with it.

The only nagging annoyance is the lack of lights behind the fan/heater controls on the dashboard.

I read somewhere that bulb(s) could be accessed by pulling off the fan and heater dials. I've removed the controls but there's no sign of a bulb. Could it be a fuse? All the other dashboard lights are fine.

Why is it always the left hand bulb that goes. Both my C-Class's, brothers CLK and now my Dad's W210

Could it be that those that sit on the left are knob twiddlers

If you take out the right bulb, the good one will be left.

Someone call a moderator!

Here is a thread started by 'Bigwood' that is discussing 'knob twiddlers'.

I like a double entendre as much as the next man but....

....oops forgot, I am grown up now!

Be careful removing the bulb as with tweezers they are easy to shatter.

When I removed mine on my old C class I used a bit of clear tubing. I put this over the bulbs and pulled them out luckily they didnt break.
