Light in speedometer

[Herzie]

Hi guys.

The light in my speedometer is out. It worked not to long ago. I've checked the wires and they are fine. Has anyone got any experience changing the bulb? I had a quick look the other day but couldn't find any obvious way to change it.

Take off the back of the speedo. (Two nuts) Take out the light. Change bulb.

The bulb fits into a rubber bung that just pulls out of the speedo/tach..

once out, the bulb is a bayonet fit.

Ok thx guys. I just removed the metal back and didn't find anything other that a white plastic housing. I'll try and see if I can take it further apart.

There has to be wires that go into the speedo from somewhere in order for there to be a light.

Once you'll have it out (bulb) it is advice to lub that rubber housing, I encounter some that were so glued to the speedo that they broke under pressure when I tear them out, a light grease can do.

Good luck

Well there were wires though I just couldn't see any lightbulbs or a fitting for it.
