Dash lights for headlamps

[Shoddy]

My green/blue light on the instrument panel has decided to take a break at the moment. Luckily headlamps etc still working fine. Is it more than likely going to be the bulbs behind the panel? And if so how do you replace these?

Cheers

If I am wrong feel free to correct.
Removal of the steering wheel was my first move , then remove the four screws holding the clock casing in place. Now place hand round back behind the clocks and directly behind the speedo you will feel a large
finely ribbed nut :shock: undo this nut and when you remove it the speedo cable will also come out of the
back of the dial. Now you can tilt the whole piece forward so that it sits upside down in front of you.
You now have access to the twist and turn bulb holders that are on the back of the plate, they are usually
black in colour. The wire is grey with the red dashes on it. You can see the place where the speedo cable has been unscrewed from near the centre.



Ignore what's going on , I was just installing one of ASPRO'S rev counters. Hope this helps.

It is possible to do the above without removing the steering wheel, just

Agreed I've never removed the steering wheel or the speedometer cable!

You do need to remove the speedo cable, then the dash will fall forward enough for you to see and work more comfortable

Thanks fella's .... Fitted new speedo cable recently so at least I know how to undo that!
