Car Forum / Citroen Cars / December 2007ZX Dash Lights
SWMBO has complained about half the speedo lights being out so in the dark she can only tell what speed she's doing when it's above 40mph. Is there an easy way to get at them? The Haynes BoL is also in her car and she's gone to work.  SignatureMalc Like the Kipling cat, I walk alone - Never inviting trouble, never casting the stone.

It is one option, yes. SignatureMalc Like the Kipling cat, I walk alone - Never inviting trouble, never casting the stone. malc ("malc" <malunspamwhite@blueyonder.co.uk>) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: > SWMBO has complained about half the speedo lights being out so in the > dark she can only tell what speed she's doing when it's above 40mph. Is > there an easy way to get at them? No. From memory, you'll need to take the panel surround off, then the panel itself out. If you're planning on keeping the car, do every single bulb in there at the same time. > malc ("malc" <malunspamwhite@blueyonder.co.uk>) gurgled happily, > sounding much like they were saying: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > If you're planning on keeping the car, do every single bulb in there > at the same time. Ok good call. Looks like that's next Saturday sorted then :-( SignatureMalc Like the Kipling cat, I walk alone - Never inviting trouble, never casting the stone. > From memory, you'll need to take the panel surround off, then the panel > itself out. > > If you're planning on keeping the car, do every single bulb in there at > the same time. Just like the AX, then! > SWMBO has complained about half the speedo lights being out so in the > dark she can only tell what speed she's doing when it's above 40mph. > Is there an easy way to get at them?

When I did mine in my ZX, it was a lot easier than the HBOL claimed, in fact, it was very easy, especially once I lowered the steering wheel. I even did the lights in the centre console, which was just as easy. HBOL claimed I should start by removing the seats and bodyshell, or somesuch nonsense, but I got away with just removing the minimum of trim.

For my Pug I have to go to the dealer rather than Halfords as the Halfords bulbs are in a specially long version of the same holder and don't fit. SignatureMalc Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water and the snow didn't have a place in the sun so we slipped behind a rainbow and lay there until we had done. > As a matter of interest, what bulbs are they?

I can't really remember, but I think they were capless bulbs, ie. I just pulled them out of their holders and put new ones in. Best thing to do is lupp the dash and have a look. Car still drives like that ;-) SignatureTunku "Caution : traces of irony and other metallic objects may be present in the above post"
