Hi all,

My eyes aren't quite what they used to be... hard to see small things...

Anyways , I'm trying to replace the small light bulb that illuminates the fan switch and the temperature switch below the radio...

What is the proper orientation of the bulb's flat part

12 and 6 p.m. or 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. ?

I used needle-nose pliers to take the old one out but now in trying to put the new one in and I'm not having a whole lot of luck .... although I did get it in all the way I think but for whatever reason the bulb didn't work and I even took the pains to pull the wire off the glass e so it'll get better contact but I might have tried to plug it in wrong and flattened it back to the glass which is why I'm asking what the correct bulb orientation is.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Andrew
