Dash panel light

[richypanic]

How easy/difficult would it be to to replace a blown (assumed) bulb in the dash of my 2.0 16v ABF? I have no light over the fuel guage which makes it all a bit too dim. I would appreciate any top tips

only 2 in the top so likely it just needs refitting usually

2 screws up into the top of the speedo trim surround

once trims out there a screw either side of the cluster

twist downwards and you'll see 2 blubs clipped in the top

easier if you have an adjustable column but longish magnetic screwdriver is a plus to use too

Have you managed to change the bulbs on your dash?

one of mine blown 2 over the speedo!

Im assuming that the bulbs are just white and there is a red film in the cluster?

what about LED bulbs?? would they work?

LED bulbs do work. Ive got red ones in mine, you just take the orange film strip bit out.
