I did something similar and it works a treat. A strip light above the rear door, mounted at an angle on some little purpose-made brackets:  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The result is excellent: Click image to enlarge Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

Oooh the postman's just been!!! Delivered me some goodies!
But... The lights don't look right? Are they correct for my truck, I drive a 2004 td5 xs... These bulbs are for the dash board. I watched a video on changing the lights and the bulbs the guy had looked different... Could have been an older truck mind you.. So before I strip my dash down are these the right bulbs?

Most people use the 'New Posts' function so they'll find your post regardless of where it is. By and large, there's no need to duplicate. Darren

Hi all.
How does one change the clock light? I did the fuel & temp gauge, my pliers were too fat for the speedo, so have to go and get some. I also changed the interior lights. Look forward to hearing from you all.

Been out and got my long nose pliers, lets hope they fit in the hole in the speedo to change the bulbs...
I also got some star shaped Allen keys to try and undo the clock to get to the bulb.. I did notice though, that I got 3 large bulbs left in the kit, I see that 2 go in the speedo - but don't reckon the 3rd large bulb goes in the clock does it? Anyone got any ideas?????

So got it all done. Blew a fuse too, changed that out.
I did pull the clock right out, I saw 2 'clips' 1 either side, did try to pry it apart.. But, didn't want to break it.. So I put it back and left it alone.. Heres the final product. Still don't like the green clock...

Wow. Very effective. Must be a lot brighter. Agreed the clock needs to match.
To be honest not for me but good you have it sorted out. Once I've got these lights mounted and the two si8 lights on the back I'll get some photos up. Mike |

Actually the brightness itself is no different, just the colour.
In regards to the clock, I fount its actually like a one piece, and the clock light is integrated and cant be changed.. Perhaps I need to get a see through blue sheet and cut to size and stick over the clock face lol. Look forward to seeing your pics.
