Let's see how to replace the dashboard lights on the Ford Transit. Using a cross-head screwdriver, unscrew the three screws, two below and one above, that secure the plastic covers of the steering column.

Once removed, disconnect the electrical connectors and unscrew the four screws that secure the instrument panel frame. Now, unscrew the screws that fix the dial to the frame so that you can pull it out, disconnect the speedometer tube while leaving the cable attached.

This gives you access to the back of the dial where the two bulbs are located, which you will remove by turning the socket ninety degrees to replace them with new ones. Check their proper functioning and reassemble everything by reversing the steps.
