Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the lights behind the dials on the dash on a Corsa B 1998 model.
They are not ALL lit up at night so its hard to seen how much petrol i have and if i am doing 70mph or not lol
thanks in advance.

its quite simple mate, remove the shroud around the steering wheel, then theres 3 screws, one inside that peak bit, and one either side of the wheel, pull that out and then you will see 3 screws in the unit itself, yours is a later spec one so you can then just upll the colck and they will come free, then the bulbs will be in the back of the unit

Cool thanks mate. do you know how many bulbs they hold? because i would prefer the whole dash to light up not just sections

yeah i saw the link mate, its hard to explain what i mean though, its like the bulbs are not bright enough to reach all the way, do you have a link for the ebay shop you got the bulbs from? i assume they will be exactly the same as mine anyway.
