Hello.

I have a CL-P which has 135k on it. The bulb was burnt out a week ago. How to replace the bulb? What kinds of bulb do I need? Also does the DC power jack have a bulb ?

thanks.

 

its a D2R bulb...

 

D2R for ashtray???

 

I hope he's joking.
Not sure what kinda bulb it is but I know its gonna be really small. I tried looking for the bulb in the parts diagram but its not listed there so if you want to replace it then you might have to replace the whole upper part. Mine is burnt out since I bought the car and I dont worry about it too much. If it really bothers you then you could buy a LED bulbs an tap it into the wires behind the ashtray.

 

Could you tell me how to replace the it? I am afraid to take the audio and gear box area out in order to get the bulb.

 

you might have to or get close to removing the radio to get to it

 

clp has an ash tray ? i got 03 cls dont have an ash tray in mine..

 

Its not an ashtray (and the sticker that you see as soon as you open the compartment should say so), and its plastic lined with red felt so that should be all the reason you need not to put hot embers in there.

Next, your not going to be able to replace that bulb without removing the entire stereo, so you may want to factor in the trouble its going to be to complete. You may not be able to replace the bulb anyway, its an entire assembly connected to and powered by the juice that feeds the DC adapter.

I installed my pioneer HU last summer, and I don't think I would want to disassemble that entire cluster again just to change out that bulb. If your only using it for change (basically I couldnt find any other use for it) just grab until you have enough. Eff that lil green light!

 

That might be the best. I wouldn't want a deal with the HU anyway. I will let you guys know if do.

Thanks.
