    Under Gear Light Blown? how do i get to it?

    Dont forget to wipe down the 'PRND321' plastic plate there could be some build up of dust and wiping it down underneath it will give it a brighter cleaner look also wipe down the gear illuminator which is pretty much a white cube that lets the light pass through into which gear u select.
