Dash bulbs

AlexD333 · 24-07-2015, 06:25

So what involved with changing the bulbs in the speedo ect, I see banshee has just done his on e facelift model, didn't want to hijack his thread

I've had some blue LEDs in the boot for ages now but never got around to getting them done, my poor dash is only half lit now...

From what I remember with my earlier Terrano there two screws just above the speedo cluster. Think I had to remove the panel just below. It's a long time ago tho.
Only thing when fitting the LEDs to watch for is polarity, test the lights before putting it all back together. Think Briggie once did them on his Misty years ago too.

Alex, yours will be the same as Banshee's, my 2005 is the same as my old 2001 for access to the dash bulbs.

Its a simplish jobby

Top speedo shroud off, 4 screws to remove the clocks from the dash and the clocks can then be pulled forwards and bulbs can be accessed without having to remove the grey and brown plugs from the clocks (I've heard of members having massive central locking problems after removing those plugs!!!!!)

The dial lights are the ones with the black holders, brown are warning bulbs, the blue ones x3 in the top odometer are bulbs that are only availible from Nissan at £2.08 a piece so try not to touch those if you can help it

Excellent idea as I could do with changing some bulbs, and you can never go wrong with pictures.
