I'm putting my center console back togetner, but I can't figure out where a bulb holder goes. Theres a string of 5 bulbs, 4 go into the CCU, where does the 5th go?

Temp switch? On 123 there is one that goes into a "spider" as well.

The temp wheel is part of the CCU. I can only find 4 places fot them to go, should have taken pictures duing disassembly..

Not sure about the 126 but the 123 has a socket for the fifth bulb where the hollow wires that carry light to the sunroof switch and the others in that area meet. It might be hard to see because everything is black back there and it'll blend in if you don't look closely and use a flashlight.

The four bulbs go to the CCU right? If you follow each of the 4 bulbs to its origin, you'll see a socket for the fifth bulb that illuminates the panel above the CCU via fiber optics. This fifth socket is buried quite deep in the center stack, use a flashlight as somebody mentioned.
