LCD Radio/clock diplay dim

Post by 1320si »

Hi All,
I want to brighten upmy LCD clock/radio display or MFD as its very dim compared to climate control LCD below and cant see it at night. Is it as easy as taking out and replacing bulbs or do i need a whole new display? please advise!

Pretty easy job, if it's a D8 the mfd levers out and the bulbs fit in the top. On the D9 remove the two blanking plates either side & unscrew the mfd.
