Title: Instrument lighting
Post by: Craigjm on February 11, 2024, 09:18
Anyone got a guide on how to change the bulbs in the instrument binacle and what bulbs they are? The one in the right hand clock stopped working yesterday

Pull off the top surround, take out a couple of screws, disconnect a couple of connecting plugs and take the binnacle out.  It all becomes very obvious.

Does the top surround literally just pull away without snapping anything or do you have to lever it off
