Hi All,
Whilst putting in a CD player in car today, I wondered if I could reach behind and push out clock. I did so quite easily. I twisted out bulb holder, put in new bulb , and Hey Presto, light. Whole job would have been about 20 mins.

Clock Bulb Change---Xantia

Hi MPR,
My CD player has a removable facia--getting fed up of taking it off, putting it back on already, only had it in car 2 days.
I thought only the Bx had the flip cover. Good idea that was.
Cheers

Try taking radio out, then the radiosurround(4 screws). You may be able to reach over with fingers to push switch out from the back, like I did with the clock.
Hope this helps

Can people not do it with a thin flat head screwdriver? I've had all the switches out of 5+ diferent Xantia dashes this way with no problems and no marks left... I wouldnt take the suround and the radio out just for this! Also the ac and all the other push buttons, clock etc can be pushed out the same way, the only one that can cause problems is the alarm LED/ac temp sensor which is easly removed with the clock out.

I already had radio out when I thought of this method. Was putting in a CD player. Still better than ripping half of car apart inside just for 1 dozy bulb.

while its out it made sence but for those people who just need the clock out its easyer to use the flat screwdriver method, (if your worried about damamgind the suround wrap the shaft of the driver in masking tape).
Your radio does it remember all of the setings from last use or like ours forget them?
With regards to the dead lights in switches, I'm working on convertion the switches to using LED's I will post should I mange it, and I may make the LED switches avalable on exchange baisis.
