Taimar heater control /sticker

[french dave]

Hi ,first time owner of a Taimar .replacing heater sticker provided by phillpot.Original sticker creased .Started to peel off without removing control panel and revealed clear plastic windows exactly where green symbols are .Should this light up from behind when side/ headlights on ??? If so how's this lit ?
Can I avoid pulling dash back to loosen control panel? Any access from radio cutout below ?
How does it come apart ?? Thanks dave

Hi,thanks Adrian for the info and pics .Will see if the bulb is in its hole at the drivers side as there's no illumination at present ,hopefully if I remove radio unit that will give me enough access.?
Is it Major hassle to remove the unit from behind the dash to replace the sticker ?
Oŕ cut the sticker down and fit in situ .Do the selector lever ends pull off - if your lucky ! Thanks dave

Hi,think will attempt also to swap sticker without removing dash - so will have to carefully blade around the control panel outer as rest of sticker trapped behind dash .May also add additional plastic sheet into lit recesses so sticker remains flat ( see first pic) - its going to be fiddly getting past levers and will only have one chance to get right.May split top to bottom.?? Perhaps make paper template and trial fit Plasticpig - good look with yours .Bulb looks like could be similar fit to warning light bulbs between tacho and speedo ??

Anyone know or can measure the internal diameter of the bulb holder hole in the rear corner of the controller- thanks dave

Hi,thanks for info Adrian. Mine has no rheostat in the lights circuit. Will have a look behind at the weekend .Have made acetate plate and trial fitted over levers with knobs on by hooking over top one and then moving bottom and doing the same .Have now stuck new sticker to the acetate plate. Plan is to glue to the controller face .

Sorry ,note first picture - acetate still has film on both sides ,it is clear plastic .

Hi ,sticker on acetate sheet now stuck in situ.Just need to see if there's a bulb in the back ,will remove stereo and its cage tommorrow.

Hi,removed stereo and cage to gain access to rear of heater controls .Found working bulb and holder - not sure if correct size ??as doesn't seem to push in very far Managed to take pic showing something inside plastic holder?? Is this correct to deflect light or part of original bulb holder left behind .?? Will check later this evening under darkness to see if sticker lighting up !
