how do i replace MFD bulbs in my corsa b?

Post by Cl2 RSA B »

just got back home with my newly purchased corsa b 1.0i 12v.

i want to change the dashboard and centre console LEDs to blue. firstly let me state I'm not into kitting my car or modding it in any big way - i'm just after this one change. I really don't want my corsa looking like a boy racer car, i just fancy a blue dash to match the outside.

is there a free guide or can anyone post a how-to-guide as to fitting the bulbs behind the heater panel including clock please?

it would be much appreciated!
thanks.

OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

That video is for the speedo.. not the MFD.

Also, that tutorial. You don't need to remove the whole center panel. Just the two screws behind the vents and it should slide up and out.

I did this last night, what a nightmare lol.

When i got the bulbs in and working i had the joyful task of putting it all back together correctly and in the correct order, This took me about 2 and a half hours to do and it was also dark so i had to use a light to do it. If the bulbs work then leave them as they are, too much hastle if you ask me as i did it to replace both the bulbs which were blown

For the mfd it's 2 screws behind the vents. I had mine out yesterday, and back again within 30 minutes.
