Title: Dash Lights
Post by: Martin109 on November 07, 2026, 06:53:28 PM
I've lost a lamp from the dash, meaning I can't really read the speedo in the dark.

I've acquired a set of three led replacements, and watched a video about fitting them: LEDs (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202575241273?var=503133015876)
Video about fitting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8zsGgMQI9U)

I feel a bit daunted by this, added to by the fact that the great guy from Western Car Radio in Bristol declined to fit them while fitting my new Kenwood radio/CD, despite sending him the instructional video.

Has anyone experience of doing this?

Hi they are easy to replace just need to remove the instrument cluster. Tricky bit is reconnecting the speedo cable and mfa suction tube not hard just fiddly.

Hi the mfa suction tube gives information to the readout for mpg
