Title: Dash bulbs
Post by: 9thwonder on 19 March 2012, 13:20: Just wondering what colour dash bulbs should be mine are a pretty much green and im not sure if this is standard one they are playing up at the moment and it seems like one has gone altogether above the rev limiter so i need to replace them and wanted to do the whole lot while i was at it.

Alsoi is it a fairly easy job to do?

Thanks

Someone sells them on ebay for a few quid for a complete set already in holders. Make sure you test they all work before you re-fit clocks and speedo cable as that's the hardest bit. The bulb holders turn in a quarter/half turn, anti clockwise to remove.
