Do anybody's S2 + and - lights illuminate at night? I replaced the two globes on the driver's side of the gearstick and now my gear indicators sort-of light up, but the + and - buttons stay dark... which seems wrong.

With the lights, only two globes on the drivers side with a diffuser that goes around

all the gear selections including the + & -, however even with two new bulbs in

the + & - still dont light up.

Need brighter bulbs or retro fit a bulb/led on the left somewhere and they should light up fine.

2x 5w bulbs as said by 666DAN

so it does light up. anyone got pics of it yet??

What else do I need to remove other than the gear stick surroundings in order to see the bulbs? I cant seem to see any one of them. I suspect I need to unscrew a couple of more things? Any picture would be very helpful

Bump? Had a bit of a search but didn't turn anything up

Okay, so I pulled the shifter apart today and found out it is actually relatively simple to get to the two bulbs underneath. First you need to take out the surrounding part of the console by removing the screw behind the ashtray and then prying it up with a blunt, flat object. Next you will need to use a philips head screwdriver to remove the two screws holding in the shifter itself. After this it is just a simple matter of prying off the plastic that surrounds the remains of the shifter (small white stick looking thing). Once this is done there are two small (tiny) globes directly below the "PRND32" section that can be removed/replaced. I will upload pictures tomorrow once I have the replacement bulbs!
