If the dashboard instrument light has blown, it is advisable to replace it immediately. The operation is very simple and easily executable.

Remove the dashboard trim with your hands or a small plastic tool, along with the relevant fixing screws. Pull the dashboard outwards, taking care with the cables.

Using pliers, rotate the back of the bulb, remove the blown bulb, and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is of the same model. The bulb specifications are stamped on the body, indicating the voltage and wattage.

Refit the bulb holder, ensuring it is secure, and test the light.
