Hey all

As requested by Jay-C.
Pls note that this not my tutorial as you will see in the pics.

Well, Here we go:

First off remove the storage bin near the ignition (below the lightswitch)
To do this, it's easiest to reach around the back and press the two tabs in on the top!

Image
Image

Now remove the two screws at the bottom of the lower panel. Pull gently from the bottom, and this panel can be placed in a safe place.

Image
Image

Next remove the screw from the underside of the steering wheel

Image

Using a thin slotted screwdriver, undo the two clips on the front, on either side of the wheel centre

lift off the top cover

remove the two silver screws from either side of the steering wheel (just in front of the stalks)

Image

Drop your adjustment handle and undo the screw on the front, and slide the handle off to leave the L shaped bar. Push the bar back home into the bottom of the wheel.

Image

remove the base of the steering column cover

Now it's time to remove the housing:

Undo the two screws at the bottom

Image

and the one at the top

Image

pulling the top forward, lift the housing out. this is sometimes a bit tight, but it will come out.

All you have in front of you now is the clocks. remove the two screws at the bottom, lift the clip at the top centre and pull them straight out towards you.

Image

On the back you will see four small twist out bulb holders. The bottom centre one is for your mileage readout (odometer) the other three are for general illumination.

Image

Twist out and replace til your hearts content.

Note: LED's only work one way, once replaced, switch the light on and check they are working before refixing!

Re-fitting is the reverse of removing. It is really simple.

After:

The finished product:

Hope it helps.

howzit peeples. I had to replace my odometer light (Osram 12/1.2). This "how to" was a great help, but taking the cover off the display unit was frustrating to say the least. so I took some photos of how I put it back in... taking it out would be in the reverse order

Best place would be a company called CrazyLed.
They are based in the UK.
You can order them off their website for 20 pounds

Contact Sugan at Violet Electronics in JHB
He will courier

@Jason - My mechanic can do it
I ALWAYS break something so he does all those stuff for me :D
We had to change the heater control bulb on my fiance's Corsa B a few months ago
What a mission I tell you!! Really! I would have probably broke the whole dash if I had to do it :oops:

It was a biatch getting my Coupe's cluster back into the white connector. But it's such a nice thing to do if you're sick of amber.
