Dash light - only a bit of them light up !!!

Post by Gav_sw20 »

Went out last nite and turbo, water, speedo & rev cntr facias are only partially lit up !!!

The rev cntr is not lit at all whereas the top bit od the speedo one is lit up.

Any suggestions at all, also whats it like working behind there is it alot of hassle ?

Regards - Gav.

Sounds like a few of your dash bulbs have blown. To get at them, you need to take the dash apart, unscrew the speedo pod, pull it toward you and you can unscrew the bulbs from the back of the pod.

I managed to replace some of mine without disconnecting the speedo drive cable :)

Hope this helps

If you have to change the bulbs consider LED replacements.
Fit and forget.
Keep them white or go coloured. :D
