Speedo light

Post by chi kung »

How do I change the speedo light as the bulb has gone. Do I need to take the clocks apart or Is there an access point.

Cheers

ive got a set in bits at home - i'll have a look.
never had to change one meself.
usually theyre in a rubber push-in holder under the pod but cant say i noticed any when i took mine apart.
have a look in the electrical section of the shop manual - link's in the workshop bit.
says in there how to change bulbs :thumbup:

*yup - page 350 of the workshop manual, remove the 3 bolts holding the instrument pod in place, turn it over, pull out the offending rubber bulb socket, pop in a new bulb, bob's yer dad :thumbup:

Just make suer you buy the correct bulb - looks very similar to a sidelight bulb but it's not, the 12v n.n amp is different.

Only found that out when I went to buy one at local car shop and took the old bulb with me, bloke took one look and said "nope haven't any of those you need the n.n amp one" - and he was right

So when you get a new buld just check against the one you've taken out first

You can get Supaleds LED ones in different colours if you want to have something a bit different.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

used these

you can find them on ebay in any colour you want, also have a white one in my top side light, they are a lot brighter than the stock ones and a lot clearer than they look on these pics, bottom strip is an led strip of ebay hot glued into place and run off the side light.
