Driver's Side Door Controls - Back Light
Hi - new C5 owner - owned several C3 before. Two questions - 1st question - noticed last evening that the driver's side door the back lights for the locks, window controls are out. The passenger side work fine. Any suggestion on best places to start? Before I dig in, is this all one unit or separate for each window and lock? 2nd question - the center console only opens about 45 degrees rather than full 90? Is my hinge or top broken or is 45 degrees normal opening width? Watched several youtube videos etc but can't see a good video or photo of "normal" operation.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your C5! The center console has sort of a compound hinge. It threw me off too. after you open it, pull up on the console hatch and it will open fully. There are several options for the door switch lights. If you check eBay, you'll find lots of aftermarket LED options.
