hi peeps the bulb has gone on my clock can it be replaced when instrument cluster is removed or am i better leaving it regards mike

Once the cluster is removed its a piece of cake.

Some people recommend replacing all the bulbs while the cluster is out, not only does this mean they will all be the same brightness but you might break one or two when you wrestle the cluster out of the dash and not realise until it's back in place!

The bulbs aren't too expensive anyway

if you have an adjustable steering column, it's a piece of cake to get the cluster out otherwise it's a bit of manouvering involved.

there are 2 types of bulbs in the cluster, about 8-9 in total
