Default Door Window/Memory Control panel how to change bulbs?

How can i change bulbs inside the small door control panels that control windows and mirrors?
Can the unit be opend, and what kind of bulbs (LED?) are installed?

I never opened that unit, but i guess there are at least 2 or 3 bulbs inside.

Did somebody ever did that bulb replacement there?

Thanks!

Jochen

Usa a small flat blade screwdriver and a rag to gently pry up one end of the panel. Then unplug the harness from the back and remove the panel. That's all there is to it. The bulbs can be changed now. Look into putting LED's in for replacements, they last forever and do not heat up like regular bulbs.

Default Door switch controls

I had the lock/unlock button on my drivers side with memory go bad.
The panel is very flimsy from the underside. Dealer price for a new one was in the range of $130. Found a used one on fleebay for $35. If you wreck it opening it up you will need to find another one or have deep pockets. BIGHANK
