Hi All,

One of the bulbs that illuminates the speedometer has died................... Does anyone on here know what type of bulb it is ??? So I can get some before I take the instruments out.

Cheers to All

They're T5 bulbs. Philips ones are excellent. Get several and replace all those cheap junk Alfa bulbs while you're at it.

BTW, make sure the ignition is off - or better still disconnect the battery - before pulling out the instrument cluster, or the airbag light will come on. I know from painful experience.

Has anyone ever replaced with led, do they look any good When lit?

I tried LEDs and they don't work in there unfortunately.

Probably something to do with the dimmer?

Thanks Mel ........... Much appreciated. I'll order up some from RS components on Monday ............ I'm sure I must need some for a job I'm doing at work as well.
