Hi guys,some of my dash light bulbs have gone. How big a job is it to change them. And what type of bulb are they please?

Thanks

Rob, I have all the screws out, and the cluster seems loose, but will not come out!

Is there something else that needs releasing, or should it just pop out??? ???

Have you followed the guide? Disconnected loom to the display?

Followed instructions, did not see anything about disconnecting the wiring. Do you have to do that before pulling the dash out? Or do you have to get the plug out first?

Disconnect the multi-plug from the back of the MID

I assume that was disconnect the two multiplugs??? ;D

Eventually got the clips released and plugs out. But I have to say the cluster is a bloody tight fit!!

Changed bulbs for some used ones I had in stock. All worked perfect.

Until I left to come home, when one went out!!!! I should have bought new ones.

Oh well, I'll do it all again tomorrow :'( :'(

    I got to do this as well, nice and easy when there are some photos etc to follow otherwise could end up with half the dash on the drive.  keith B
