Title: dash bulbs replacement
Post by: nick v6 on 19 September 2008, 16:00:59
i have noticed doing a bit of night driving that i have got a few bulbs out on my dash mainly on the speedo and 1 behind the heater turn control
does anyone have any pics or diagrams or just a good read that i can print off and study

while im changing a few i may as well change the lot save having to do it again for a while
can anyone tell me how many and what sort of bulbs i need to get

 :y
thanks

Just been outside to have a look at the other omega i have which has the standard dials.the buttons all pop out easily i can feel the bulb holder but getting to them is another thing.
I suggest taking all the buttons/radio out and finding where the screws are fixing the panel on if you find these it shouldnt be a problem,unless you have already tried this!!!

Not sure, never had to change them. "The Boy" or "MarksDTM" should know exactly. Hopefully one of them will respond soon :y

Dash comes out in about 10 mins - think there are 3 main bulbs for speedo etc in there.  Make sure you fit it back in correctly!
