Hi all,

Is it possible to replace the bulbs in the instrument cluster as the left side which has the temp & rev counter has suddenly gone very dull??? I'm assuming that a bulb or 2 have packed in. I have had a quick look but can't see where any screws are to remove the cluster???

Excellent guys, thanks for that. I'll have a go at the weekend. I take it that the bulbs are easy to come by?

Hi
I have just had another bulb go now. Does any body know how many bulbs there are in total behind speedo, rev counter etc.? Might as well change the lot whilst there. Also what is the best colour to choose? I am thinking that white would be the best replacement?

Zippy, can you lose the text speak? .  Additionally, some punctuation may assist, save people having to constant reread a paragraph to understand
