A simple question regarding the control illuminations for you on the E53
Should the rear passenger heater controls have illumination or not as the kids had quite a 'vocal' challenge trying to see the temp position in the dark last night.
Also, should the temp dial on the centre dash vent illuminate too?
Thought it was easier to ask on here before starting to take things apart.
I know at least one of you would know for sure.
Cheers

Re: Interior illumination

Sometimes BMW can be such cheapskates.
Could be a tricky mod too. May have a look but don't hold your breath

Re: Interior illumination
I think the centre upper is just painted so you would need to add light and guides......or some small and very smart looking LEDs into the dots. Now there's a project..
