w126 gear selector bulb change
Hello all, I am trying to change the gear selector bulb on my mom's '85 300sd. I haven't had any success on the search. I removed the ashtray, center console switches, and wood. The lead entering the selector does not appear to have a place to replace a bulb. Is this illuminated by a fiber optic strip? If so, where is the bulb located? Does this also illuminate the 3 center dash vents? Thanks.

You have to pull the small wiring harness out and there is a small bulb in a socket. I'd like to replace mine with an LED.

Is the small bulb in the selector unit PRNDSL or elsewhere? Do you need to remove the 4, 10mm screws that hold down the shift gate to access? Or is the bulb behind the cc pushbutton unit?

The bulb is at the front of the selector gate, it is not one of the fibre optic lines.

Front Left Of Center Of Gear Selector
Yes, you have to remove the ashtray and coin tray then the bulb is located at the front left of center of the gear selector. Feel for the wires and I believe if I remember correctly you need to pull down to expose the bulb.
Hope This Helps!
