Speedo bulb

I've not had my 52 plate td5 long so not driven at night until now .. anyway I'm guessing you should be able to see the Speedo at night

. It's quite annoying so any clues on 1 what bulb it is I need and 2 how to change it?

Well LR made this an easy job not

. .. using tweezers managed to get one bulb out eventually and lost it in the dash somewhere. Second one seems to spin but can't get a great grip on it but I fear the holder is loose. Not managed to get a new bulb in either yet. Have order some mini extra long needle nose pliers see if that helps

just get the new bulb from the dealer, it'll only be a couple of quid at most.

Put some rubber tube over the ends of your pliers/tweezers.

I've got some led bulbs on eBay. I've ordered some forceps too, throw money at the problem lol. I'll try something on the end of the tweezers though

forceps arrived today and i was able to change the bulbs out for led ones and they are both working . Have to say they work a treat for anyone faced with similar issue.
