Replacing the bulbs inside the air conditioning knobs? This is not too complicated. Remove the knobs using pliers without damaging them.

Extract the damaged bulbs from inside the control knobs. Install the new bulbs and prepare to refit them into the dashboard.

Be careful not to break the plastic tabs that hold the knobs in place within the control panel. After replacing all the damaged bulbs in the knobs, test their operation.

Check the bulbs by turning on the instrument cluster and the controls.
