Default How to change Globe in dash

Hey guys just wondering how you change the globe which lights up behind the kilometers display. I have a 2002 Au Series 3. It seems to be the right hand side that has blown so i am guessing there are two globes.

Any help would be great.


Cheers Darren

they use light channels so it might only be one... either way you have to take the cluster out... the globes clip into the back of that..

only ever done it on an EL and BA... I'm assuming its more like an EL... you have to take the surround out and you will see about 5 screws or so... undo these and it should pull out... even easier to do on a BA but I dont think the AU runs that set up... Basically you'll pull a few of the dash pieces off... not too hard just take your time.

Just 2 screws under the plastic plugs at the top of cluster and about 3 wiring harness to unclip easy as.

Just slide the cluster out after the screws are out nothing else is holding it in.
