Dean0 how do you change the bulbs mate do you have to unscrew the back of the speedo or do they pop out the back without unscrewing it? Thanks mate

Once you have the dash out you will see rubber bungs in the back of it.

Remove the relevant rubber bung and under it you will see the bulb/holder unit.

They are a 1/4 turn anticlockwise to release type fitting.

Good luck in replacing them as just replacing the headlight bulb was fiddly enough for me (due to getting that dust cover back on!)


BTW the Osram Nightbreaker Plus i did eventually manage to fit in as much better than the stock it replaces as a nice white light now

I expect you should be happy with that, expect to struggle a little with the dust seal if you have sausage fingers like me!


The Osram I have suppose to be + 90 and it has made a big different as what was originally in there was rather yellow and I did not like it's output at all.

I still have to replace the driving/side light and was looking at putting in an LED (501) but not sure which one to get as yet.

Where in wiltshire are you 500tie?
Have a Haynes you could use if needed/if your local.
Also, does anyone know if you can make the clocks brighter?? Mine just seem really dim...!

Thanks for the offer josh but I've ordered myself one. The only thing I can think of if your clocks are dim is that the bulbs are just old and maybe replacing them might just brighten it up. Oh I'm in lyneham mate just outside wootton Bassett you?

Ok no worries! Kind of handy to have your own anyway!
I'm just outside Salisbury mate.
Yeah maybe I will try replacing them.
