How to Replace the Dashboard Bulbs on a Citroen Xsara Picasso

Model: Citroen Xsara MK 1 - Years 1997-2006
Part: A/C controls

Want to replace the bulbs in the ventilation instrumentation? Here’s how to disassemble the unit in a Citroen Xsara Picasso. Open the screw covers at the sides of the stereo; unscrew them and remove the radio. Disconnect the gear knob and unscrew the securing screws of the trim. Remove the stereo trim with a plastic lever (where the ventilation vents are) and detach it from the centre console. Once the instrumentation is free from the plastics, unscrew it with a screwdriver. Pull out the instrumentation by hand and disconnect the cables (for power), replace the bulbs inside, and reassemble all parts.
