I know I'll probably get some ridicule for this but how do I change the bulbs behing the temp guage on my D8 ? temp guage bulb and speedo needle gave up on me last night.
I can see the screws above the dials but that would appear to be for the entire surround ? Does it all need to come off just to access the dials ?

Re: Dash Bulb Replacement
3 Torx across the top, and should be one on the side of the dash in access panel - but appears some peeps can't be bothered to put that one back in so may be missing
Sig says 1997 so temp gauge in MFD which will prise out - depending on spec of car, it'll have either a single or a pair

Re: Dash Bulb Replacement
Thanks for the info, it's the engine temp not the exterior temp that died but I get the idea
