The part that broke will be why some aren't lighting up.

It kinda works like a fibre optic so the light won' be getting there.

Also there is a green filter around the bulb behind the dials that you just pull out.   :smiley:

It might have just unclipped from the back of the control unit  :undecided:

If not try a bit of glue on it to see if it'll stay put.

If all else fails, see if someone is selling one on here or the bay. I think Jordysport is breaking a Mk3, however, you might have to buy the complete unit   :sad:

yea your after the light gathering acrylic that spreads the light, however these spreaders arnt great at lighting up all 3 dials around the edge as on the 2 outside ones the spreader only lights up the centre part..
