Pelmenis Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I decided I'll take out the old bulbs first to see what they're like before I get new ones. Getting to the clock was a big of a nightmare, and I realized I can take out the bulbs without taking the whole clock out only after I removed 2 out of 3 screws that hold it in place. Here's the bulb Going to motor factors tomorrow to get two of them. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Those bulbs are T5 (also known as a 286). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelmenis Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got the dashboard disassembled properly and confirmed that the bulbs are the problem by temporarily putting in the ones from the air blower. Local motor factors didn't have green bulbs and they wanted €2.50 for clear ones. I turned to eBay instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick in Holland Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have a problem with my clock bulbs also ( not working ) 1.6i 2000 Cabriolet fuse is Ok clock still works :) do I have to take out the dash to replace a 10 cent bulb ? can you access it from somewhere ? does the clock not come out on its own ( I couldn't see how ? ) is the bulb a screw in or push in ?
