how to replace the lights on a c5 trip computer

Post by fotobright »

Howdy,

My 2001, 2.2 C5 trip computer screen is 'un-illuminated'. If it had bulbs, how do I change bulbs?

Thanks

I have done one but my memory is not so good. I think the display is held in with screws behind the cover, I think you lever the surround up from the bottom to remove it. I seem to remember there are two or three bulbs in the back.

The globes are 1.2 Watt and pack up one after the other, but you may only notice after the last one has gone.
Try finding ones with a white or clear-coloured base because the dark ones cause halos on the screen.
