[VZ05LUM]

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how to change the single light bulb which is located where the auto shifter, Currently the bulb has blown and I can't see the D-R-N-P.
Please advise.

i have the same problem in my vz executive, from looking at it the only way i can see theres possibility in changing is too remove the entire dash and shifter. anyone else have a simpler way?

You'll need to get the top of the console out in order to get into the shifter assembly.

The most frustrating bit is reattaching the shifter boot to the plastic surround, so if you can get to the bulb without doing that you'll save yourself a lot of effort.

If you follow the instructions you should be able to have the job done in less than 30 mins

I pinched this off another thread..It honestly only takes 5 minutes..The hardest part is trying to fit the light socket back into the original place.

"Drop the fuse panel and you will see 2 phillips head screws that attach the right hand console cover. The rear section clips in near the hand brake lever. Remove this panel and you'll see the light socket up there.

Thanks To Phil

as trevor said that is the easyest way just use some long nose pliers to pull the light socket down.globe is T5
