 Easy job, more effort to remove the centra dash to get at them rather than actually changing them.
I'd change the lot if you can, you don't want to keep replacing different ones on and off. They are very cheap, LR charge more. (No surprise) but they are readily available 1.2w capless.

Great thanks guys - couldn't find anything when I did a search!
Have emailed Duckworth for an order. Have just had centre dash out to fix something else so guess I may have disturbed something but won't hurt to have spares and put some new bulbs in anyway. |

Is it worth getting genuine bulbs or would an equivalent from Halfords suffice!? Only because I want to fix this weekend as opposed to wait for a delivery and going past Halfords tonight.

I've ordered some Osrams from ebay - £3.50 for 10 (plus £1.50 postage).
Can't see the OEM ones being any better. Maybe I'll eat my words, but those originals in it lasted less than 3 years. |

^^^^ Can't see any problem with that, LR only rebrand items anyway.

Planned to change all of mine today and did 1 (the right sided heater blower direction control).
Complete b**ch to get the bulb out of the holder (broke it - despite multiple attempts being careful and using various different gripping aids). Easier if you can remove the bulb holder 1st. Once I broke it, I fragmented the residual bulb stem glass left in the holder using a small (precision) flat head screwdriver! Also, the trouble I had was the lack of slack on the connections to the centre console switches and the stereo (I left the Alpine unit in) so I hadn't got much room to furtle behind it. Getting the centre console out was easy enough in itself. Couldn't face doing the other 3. Ian Edit: couldn't stand it, so nipped out and changed the other side (which intermittently flickered off). Top tip - needle nose pliers with tips of jaws wrapped in insulation tape to get bulb out. |

This is always the time of year something normally fails. No Guts, No Glory.

All four done - fiddly would be the word to sum it up but managed to do with stereo still in. 3 done in 10mins and the fourth had to be the one that broke didn't it - like the last screw or bail that just won't budge!!!!!!!!!
Seconded the use of a long metal meat skewer to bend the filament wires that were left after the glass broke and then teased it out with thin nose pliers? Be like Blackpool illuminations all being well tonight! |
