Replacing instrument panel bulbs

Hi all,

How hard is it to replace the instrument panel bulbs?

After 19 years of use they are getting very dim.

Please tell me that there is an easy way without having to remove the whole dash.

Also, does anyone know the correct code for replacement LED bulbs for the instrument panel?

Thanks :-)

Cheers, M

    getting the instrument cluster out is pretty easy but you'll have to remove the ashtray and centre dash to get to it.
    Have a look as Robk's thread as he has put LED's in his dash.
     
    I've ordered mine from superbightsleds.com

    Thanks fellas,

    Mr2gtracer, would you have the order code for the dash LEDs? Don't fancy having to pull the dash apart twice, once to get the old ones out to match the type and a second time to install new LEDs :-)

    Cheers, M
