If the central console of the dashboard, which houses the climate control buttons, does not light up when the headlights are switched on, you need to replace the bulbs located right behind the console. Turn the climate control knobs to their maximum position, and after covering the tip of a screwdriver with masking tape, pry along the edge of the dashboard to release it and access the base of the dashboard where the bulbs are located.

It is advisable to replace all the bulbs, check their correct operation, and then refit the dashboard.
