    instrument illumination replacement globes (wedges)

    Hi Team,

    Hi Greg, This is what I bought for my GU series 1 (1999) Ti which has a similar dash to yours. They were a perfect fit and the blue looks great.

    My odometer doesnt light up at night, the clock does and so do the guage clusters can't read the KLM.
    Is it supposed to? or does it have its own lamp?
    Doesnt really matter, but sometimes use it to work out distance to empty or to destinstion.

    Hi Macca. Yes, the odometer has the same as the clock. Sounds like the bulb is blown. The LEDs seem to be the best way to go.

    I managed to flex the surround enough to get it past the steering wheel but only just. It does come out but you have to hold your mouth just right....LOL The approved method is to disable the airbag and remove the steering wheel, but I couldn't be stuffed for 4x bulbs.
