Swompy 0 Posted March 17, 2010 On the way to work today the light that illuminates the MFA screen doesnt work any more :( The rest of the dials are all lit up just the MFA one isnt IS this just a case of replacing the bulb? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugopnosaj 0 Posted March 17, 2010 yeah its simple you have to remove the whole guage cluster though which is a PITA especially if yours has a vacuum tube in the back. The bulb then twists out however you'll need a replacement before hand as the bulbs are moulded into the holders http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-WHITE-509T-T5-509T-Twist-Lock-Bulbs-UK-Shipped_W0QQitemZ120526081879QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1c0fea0f57 This is the shape of the bulb (obviously you dont have to buy it from ebay i just needed the picture to show you) its a twist lock holder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
