Hi all

Anyone know a good DIY procedure for replacing my dashboard lights?
Currently only have the right half of my rev counter and temp gauge working ... thats all the light in the car ATM.

Any help appreciatied.

Thanks

Hi there,

Well im currently putting Blue LEDs into all of my dash, and the easiest bit to do is the clocks/dials. All you do is take the 3 screws out that hold the housing around the clock out (one screw either side and one in the middle, underneath.

Once this is done then there are 2 screw holding the clocks in. Take these out and have a tug of war match with the dials and once there out, all of the bulbs can be pulled out and replaced, no soldering or anything is needed!

Bear in mind that its best to change all of your bulbs, blown or not, as you know as soon as you put it all back in, the other buggers will blow too!

As for the centre console lighting (i.e the heater dials etc) then the whole centre console needs to be taken out. I think theres an guide on here somewhere how to do it, ill have a look for you.

If you need to replace the bulbs on the MFD (bit that sits above the dash in the middle that tells temp, time etc) then you need to take out the two vents in the middle of the dash, remove the 2 screws hidden behind these, and then remove the MFD. Once this is done, unplug the MFD and there should be 2 bulbs. Replace both of these and the refitting is the opposite of the removal.

Hope thats of some help to you!
