Title: dash lights
Post by: Justins145bhpMK1 on 08 June 2005, 09:27

Hhhmm first drive in the dark and I discover my 16v has no lights in the instrument binnacle. Are these easy to replace??????

short answer..... Not really!! you have to take out the dash and clocks hardest part is detaching mfa vacuum pipe and speedo cable, once it's out it's just a twist lock bulb to replace!, good luck.

That was easy enough, only took 45 mins. Lets see what happens when it gets dark!!

You mean you put it all back together without testing it?  Asking for trouble there :grin:
