I've put red covers on the bulbs behind the clock/date/temp display and the dials, but can't figure out how to do the ones behind the heater control.... I looked at the tutorials section, and the guy who wrote it has been unable to do it on his 2000 Sport... (cheers for the page btw!). Has anyone done this successfully on a sport from after 99? Or any car from after 99 as i assume they all changed circuits then.... Any advice would be great. Also, has anyone done the electric window switches? Opened the switch up but couldnt see the bulb! I also had the headlight switch off but couldn't see the bulbs for it!

It took me fookin ages to do mine in the heater switch. Ya have to take out the heater facia completely (luckily had mine out for painting anyway) and then pull the switch out from back, then you have to strip the switch down by removing the back which is a bit fiddly, you have to get a small screwdriver and prise out around tabs.
Once apart you will see the soldered in bulb so you can put cover on it (dunno wot affect it will have as it shines thru a yellow lens) If you need to change bulb U2U me cos it gets a bit difficult and its an odd bulb from a VCR!

Was just speaking to a mate who's done his, he suggests taking out the CD player... Did anyone else do this and find it useful?

I don't think that will benefit you at all.
