C1/107/Aygo dashboard bulb change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2021
- In this episode, I change the bulbs in the dashboard of Project C1. This is a relatively simple task that anyone with a basic tool kit can achieve and is a very cheap modification. The bulbs necessary for the job are a T5 capless type in a colour of your choice. I decided to go for red to match the red & black interior in my C1 and this is the same procedure for a Peugeot 107 and a Toyota Aygo.

for anyone who is struggling to take off the connector white clip thing, you can take it off. It's really fiddly, you have to make sure you hold the clips together tight.. I struggled alot, so my father helped. m However he struggled too at 1st, but he got it off. Tips- patience, don't give up, allow enough room. , hope this helps anyone.
For anyone wondering they are T5 286 12V 1.2W CAPLESS
Another superb video. These are much appreciated.
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying them 😁
Great video, I thought mine were ok, but seeing this they not.
I've ordered red led as well.
Many thanks 👍👍
I’m glad the video helped! Just keep a steady hand with the soldering iron and you’ll be fine.
Just done mine thanks of the help and the video is very easy to follow
Thanks for the nice feedback, I really appreciate it 😁
@@DABDIY no problem
agradezco el apoyo con estos videos! Saludos desde Panamá
¡Me alegro de que te gusten estos vídeos!
i have a black 107, great videos. just installed some dynamic indicators and was looking for new small mods to add. Youre channel is great so thank you!
Thank you so much for the feedback, I’m glad you like it! Plenty more uploaded and scheduled for release in due course, so don’t forget to subscribe and ring the notification bell 😁
@@DABDIY you didn't have to remind me to subscribe or turn on notifications haha. did that the second i clicked your video
That’s great to hear, thank you! I hope you enjoy the content 😁
Great video, thanks just subscribed 👍
Thank you 😊
You are a true LEGEND the only video anywhere that is english that shows you how to do this, i have found only 1 other vid but not in english, i have looked everywhere you are a saint thanks for all your vid and keep up with them really helps me and saves me money on daughter's car.
You’re entirely welcome, I’m glad you got something out of the video!
Plenty more C1 related stuff coming up over the next few months 😁
@@DABDIY great been following for a while still waiting to get hold of daughters car, been waiting long enough to spray all the inside but she keeps moaning when am i going to do it i tell when she leaves the car parked up long enough for me to do it lol
Why don,t you put some of your vids on facebook there so good perhaps you could get some more credit for what you have done. Saved me alot of grief all the best.
Quite a few of my videos end up in the City Bug Club on Facebook. If you’re not already in the club, search for it and tell them I sent you. Plenty experienced group experts in there too, loads of advice on pretty much anything you can think of.
@@DABDIY I am thanks on city bug facebook, and that is how i saw the video of you painting the inside of the car and the vid about the leaks.
Ah yes, I remember that conversation! Was it you that intended to paint the trim white, or was that someone else?
I’ve actually been out today and taken the dashboard out completely to make an effort at reducing sun glare. If you’re on Instagram, follow me to see what I’m up to between videos, @dabdiy.
Great vid and info...thx
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
lol i didnt know my little 107 even had bulbs there will have a look at fixing em ty
Where did u get this smartphone holder?
Honestly, it came with the car when I bought it. My best guess would be amazon.
thank you!
You’re very welcome
lol, squaddie clues. good vids
Hahhah, you noticed that then? 😅
cool
For me I triéd to pull thé white connection but it does not Come 😢
Keep trying, but be careful it doesn’t snap, they’re quite brittle.
I couldnt get the connector off, i tried it over 2 days, so i removed the translucent cover in front, worked too.
You need to loosen the 4 clips on top ( 2 are hidden) and i also loosened the selector wheels.
I couldn’t get the connector off either, where are all the clips for the clear cover?? Do you also have to take off the side levers as well?
@@jamiekerby864I'm on the same boat as you!
The clips on top won't unclip. I can manage the centre 2, but the others are too small to pry open
@@eatsleepclash2738 you need to get the selector wheels out of the way , otherwise you cant access/ see where they are.(atleast i couldn`t)
Afterwards i can only remember using a small screwdriver and some plastic to wedge in between the parts, it worked eventually
where do the cables connected to the dead button go? i saw this on my own car and wondered. i know that in other c1s thats the air con button but mine doesnt have air con and it seems yours is the same, why are the cables there and what do they do?
I’m not sure to be honest. I imagine it’s a standard wiring harness for both ac and non-ac cars
question: is it really a load (like hard burden) for auto system (electronic system I mean) with using the head unit with big screen ? like, will be it bad for my Aygo or it will be allright ?
or it's just a myth and I can put in same stuff and nevermind about it ?
No, it should be just fine. Plenty of people have a double din touch screen head unit in their bugs.
@@DABDIY I see, thank u for your answer!
How did u get the light part off, trying to do it but can't figure it out
It’s quite fiddly, but it’s achievable. I used two flat blade screw drivers to squeeze the tabs in one side at a time and then use the other to push it off the housing.
Can it be any sort of “T5” bulb or is there other specifics, don’t want to buy the wrong thing but there are very limited options out there
Aa long as it’s a T5 format, it should be fine. Be careful about LEDs though, they have a tendency to blow fuses behind the steering wheel.
@@DABDIY thankyou! Is there a certain type that’s less likely to blow the fuses or just a case of trying to find a good quality one ?
I’ve never actually managed to find an LED that didn’t blow the fuses, so I stuck with a regular bulb instead.
My best guess would be that a canbus compatible LED might work, but I can’t confirm that.
I've noticed that even your car (like mine too) doesn't have AC, some wires run to the blank switch. Is there any function of them?
The only thing I can think of with these wires is that only one wiring loom is produced in the factory and fitted to all cars, regardless of AC installation. If you don’t have AC, they won’t connect to anything in the engine bay loom.
If u don’t have air conditioners can u add it or not In the c1
Anything is possible with enough time, effort and money, but to be honest, you’d probably be better off trading your C1 in for one with AC.
could i have the link of the bulbs ?

Noticed mine aren’t lighting up anymore either with the little orange light.
Could this be causing a drain on my battery cause it keeps dying.
Checked all the fuses and are all good. Changed alternator and the battery twice but car still seems to drain.
Ground connections seem fine so can’t get my head around why the battery keeps dying
You have a parasitic drain somewhere. The best thing to do would be to go to an auto electrician for this because they’re notoriously hard to find, however if you have the facility, see if there is any voltage drop across every fuse while everything is turned off. Also, try removing the bulbs you installed and see if that stops the drain.
Hello, my switch selector for the car fan is not working properly. Do you know how to unplug this selector, on your video thats the white thing that gives power to the bulbs? I tried to unplug but it doesnt come. Thanks !
It is fiddly to unplug, keep at it!
@@DABDIY it was such a pain to take it off. It was melt inside. I replaced it, everything is working. Its sad because I changed the blower motor and resistance for nothing. Thanks man. It was easy to unplug it on another car to put it on mine.
At least you can be assured that you’ve got a fresh blower motor and resistor pack and you won’t have that problem again
has one one done, this only to brake the clips that hold on the LEDs, and heater controller? cant put mine back together because when i push the heater nob back on it pushes the part (where the LEDs go) back
ps the tabs on mine didnt work, it had as set of 4 little snap on/off tabs on the heater control panel onto the LED holder
Are you saying that you’ve broken the retaining tabs that hold the light unit into the heater control housing? If you are, I recommend using a product called Q Bond to glue them back together again.
@@DABDIY yeah, not sure why the tab part on mine didnt work, but it has 4 smaller ones, 2 on top and 2 at the sides, clipped off then when i clipped it back in they snapped off
im gonnna have to glue them, or somehow attach it
Q Bond is amazing stuff, I can’t recommend it enough.
light of the red triangle button is soo low on my C1... any suggestion?
I have no suggestions. You could try pulling it apart to change the bulb, but I’ve not tried that.
Have the new ones you've installed here caused issues with the fuses?
No, they’re normal bulbs. You tend to find that LEDs blow fuses.
@@DABDIY Why do leds blow the fuses? Tried to instal leds on mine, but it costs me several fuses…
@kebo2966 I don’t know why they blow, they just do for some reason. I ended up just resorting to regular T5 capless bulbs instead, they seem to work just fine.
Where did you get the bulbs from
eBay, but you can find them on Amazon too. As long as they’re non-LED and T5 capless bulbs, they’ll be fine.
Hi there something has broke on my daughter's heater control panel i see that you took two top srews out of the panel do you have a clue on what else i would have to do to get the panel out and how you disconnect the heater cables thanks.
There’s the two screws, two spring clips on the heater controls (the ones on each side) and then it should (if I remember correctly) rock out from the top and pull upwards to release.
@@DABDIY Great thanks for that the problem i have is went to change the bulbs the other day and some twat had broke the back of the unit and then glued the white bulb holder unit to the back of the panel so my next problem is trying to get the white plastic bulb holder of the back of the control panel daughter said not to worry but would still have this problem if the bulbs was to blow, thanks for your help.
Ah, I see what you’re saying. I suppose if you are going to remove the heater control unit, you could remove the glue and try to fix the problem, as well as changing the bulbs.
@@DABDIY Fingers cross, going try to do as just said and then may have more room to get the glue off the white bulb holder and get that free from the back of the heater control unit but that would be asking to much to do with my luck
It’s gonna be a difficult one, but it’s worth trying to repair first, rather than replace. Let me know how you get on 👍🏻
I've tried everything to get the light assembly out. I've given up now!!!
It is fiddly, but persevere with it!
Mag to grid = get rid…..❤
Done mine purple inside but can’t find the bulbs for it.
I know that feeling! A friend of mine has a silver 107 and has gone for a silver and purple look, but I can’t find any bulbs or LEDs (that don’t blow fuses) anywhere. If you find some, let me know!
At 2.28..did you use anything to squeeze them together because I am squeezing with all strength God gave me and this just will not pop out
I used two screw drivers to push them together and when it was loose, I used one of them behind the fitting to prize it out. Fiddly, but it does work.
I CANT TAKE THE TAB OUT I TRY TO SQUEZE BUT NOTHING.
It is rather fiddly, the only thing I can recommend is to keep trying. I had to use two screwdrivers to push the tab in and pry it off, which was a very fiddly thing to do, but it’s achievable.
"Mag to Grid" 🤣
I assume you understand the reference 😅
Dont see the real dashboard change behind the white part..
How do you mean?
please
You need a custom speedo face
Already ordered, waiting on delivery 🚚
@@DABDIY ohhhh nice you just getting the white card replaced or the whole thing
@@reecevince2166 replacing the card on the existing clocks as well as the SMDs on the circuit board.
Those "tabs" you are telling people need to be depressed DO NOT HOLD THAT ASSEMBLY IN! It is held in by two small catches on top of the connector. Your "tabs" are simply to steady the plug against the back of the bulb holder assembly and squeezing them will never Posen the connector!
Thanks for your input 👍🏻
Thanks, i was depressd ^^
Well it came out after i pushed the tabs in👍
So how to u unplug it m8.
@@neivisancho2978 press the 2 big tabs on the light assembly(its a bit awkward) and rocking it side to side helps as well👍
those lights are a pain start flickering after a few weeks really annoying lol
That hasn’t happened for me
So you're telling me I can change that horrible orange colour to something like green? Wow
Absolutely! Let your imagination run wild!
That said, be careful of using cheap LEDs if you’re going down that route; some of them can start to blow fuses under the speedometer cowling. My advice is to stay with a normal incandescent bulb.
@@DABDIY omg just order 10 bright green LED from China hahahaha may as well give them a go.
I blew a 7.5 amp fuse when I tried Chinese LEDs... I’d stock up on those too lol
