Light gone in speedo

[mercedes lover]

Hi, the other day I noticed part of my speedometer is no longer lighting up with the lights on, was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are several bulbs in the speedo, because it's the right side of the speedo and the left side of the rev counter that no longer lights up, and how I can get it fixed.

Any advise is well appreiciated thenks.

There are several bulbs - easily enough obtained from MB or a motor factor - once the cluster is out they just swap over.

Yep, as Stats has said, easy to fit when the cluster is out - best way to remove it is to push it out from behind the dash - take the trim where your knees sit off and it should be fairly straightforward.

ive just changed a whole load of bulbs on mine, MB dealer said to replace the 2w bulb with a 3w one as the 2w one was not availible. changing one made one side brighter so i changed all the ones of that size.

ok thanks. So I need to take the bottom of dash out and slid the speedo cluster out to get to the back of it to change the bulb.

That's the easiest way if you don't have the removal tools - possibly safer too if you've not done it before.
