In the last 2 months one of the lights behind my air con controls has blown and last night the little D on the gear list in between the speedo and tacho went. Obviously this is just globes wearing out but i was wondering if anybody knew what i should get to replace em. Thought i'd see if anybody else has done it before i tear the dash apart just for a look!

The 2 lights that have gone are the Right hand side behind the air con conrols, but i figure i'll replace both while i'm in there. the other one is whatever lights the D up on the instrument panel. All the other gears still light up.

I was just thinking of grabbing some 12 volt leds and soldering them in place since they shouldnt ever need replacing again and are readily available. are the ones on the instrument panel hard to get to?

I believe the gear selector lights are not T5, they look smaller, I went to replace mine and T5 definately wouldnt fit.
