[Mk2] [NA] Replacing dash bulbs ?

Post by RobPhoboS »

The right hand side of my dashboard isn't lighting up any more. So I presume it's just a bulb that'll need to get swapped out.
My obvious question is, how much of a b1tch is it going to be ?

It takes about ten to fifteen minutes. You've got to start by taking off the dash 'sections' (from left to right) until you get to the dashboard itself. Disconnect the two cables at the back, find your faulty bulb, replace, put back together from right to left.

Sorry for the vague explanation, it's just been a while since I've done it!
