Just finished the job, what a pleasure when you know how to, and nothing is broken!!! One thing though, do not connect the wires before the dials are back in the hole or behind the wheel, it is much easier coneecting the plugs once you figured how to put the dials back in!! Took me about 5 mins before I realised this!!! :doh:

Took me all of 20 mins(including the puzzling bit!!) to do, just got to wait and see in the dark if they all work!!!

I also replaced all the bulbs as one was blown and six were scorched, so I thought I'd do it before I have to pull the dials out again!!

Thanks for an excellent write up!!! :thumbup:

One of mine wasn't working so I replaced it, was going do the lot but its thats easy to get the clocks out I just did the one.

[Alihandro]

If there are 2 spare holes in the rear of the clocks could you see through them. Suppose if you are that way inclined you could use one of them for you vtec light

Just a thought

Save drilling through the dash

[dinger657]

just replaced some of my bulbs that had blown, followed these instructions - they were spot on!

[senior30]

great thanks helped me heaps . but the srs light cant find the bulb for that one ? is the white dials glued down ? :vconf:

[Esquire]

Great write up, really clear with pictures for step by step to Loving the fact we need a beer to change the bulb as well, A++++
Will get mine sorted tomorrow, must be 2 bulbs behind the rev counter is there? its the lower that one that has blown in mine, ive been pretending that its suppoed to be like that, cos from about 7000 revs upwards it's lit up, as though its a target

[type-r-gaz]

do you have to use llb286T bulbs? or can you use LLB286? without the 'T'? as i've got them in work without the 'T'

[Newannaive]

Do they look the same..?

Whilst it's been resurrected.

The red light bottom/centre beneath speedo, wtf is that actually for? I have never seen that light on ever.

Ahhh :salut:

[Lanky_CTR]

Great little guide. Just replaced all the bulbs before as one was out.

[type-r-gaz]

difference between llb286 and llb286t bulbs are the ones without the 't' come with holders that you cants remove the bulb from, and the ones with the 't' are just the bulbs.

Just so everyone is aware

[kenny_ip_2000]

quick question, is the EML light and the key symbol light meant to light up too? Mines never had since ive had it, is there a separate bulb for these? thanks

[XCalibur87]

Very helpful thank you

Anyone tried any other coloured bulbs behind the dash?

[hitchen1985]

theres an orange filter behind the clocks that would stop a different coloured bulb shining through

[XCalibur87]

Is it possible to get that changed? Or would this invole a lot of dismantling of the speed dash itself ?
