Dial Backlighting

[GTXJez]

My Dials don't seem to be as bright as I thought compared to our Old D8 2.1TD?
I have it on the highest setting and although Ok, they could be stronger.

Is changing the bulbs awkward, and what bulbs 286T's as elsewhere in the car?

on some d9s the instrument bulbs are Smds there not the twisty out ones,
Mine is fairly bright but iwouidnt say its as bright as some its just a subtle orange Glow,

i think my instrument panel is the twisty bulbs, does this mean i can change the color of them ? i would like to put it all pure white and the dials Red... i will confirm this in about an hour, i have to go to the garage to check something on the PP2000, and i will ask him if the dash was twisty bulbs, because last month he had to replace a faulty bulb from the AIRBAG icon on the instrument panel.. and by the way i will try to add a bulb on the " missing the seat belt " icon , when i change the bulbs to the ones i referred above, so i can check if the icon works :p, maybe this was working but got screwed up like the airbag one ..
