If there two of them..I think they are for the switches for rear heated seats.

My bulb is on the list of things to do, but on my T5, move auto trans selector to what you think is D, if the arrow on dash is lit up its in 3, so nudge forward one and you are in D

I have taken the centre console out and replaced the selector bulb ok, now just to put it all back.

Problem is how to line up the gear selector housing so the red bit shows the correct gear you are in PARK/NEUTRAL/DRIVE etc

There is plastic slider thing with a pointed peg bit, which bit of the gear mechanism is this meant to go into? And how do you line it up so its reassembled correctly? With its location and the gaiter in the way its hard to see what your doing.

Maybe best to remove the white section and then try and re-attaching the plastic housing without disturbing the peg. How do you disconnect the white bit without breaking anything?

That is always the problem of knowing how to disconnect everything without snapping anything, shoving screwdriver in with force trial and error is a bit risky.
