Post Tachometer bulbs
The bulbs have gone in the Spyder tacho. Don't know what instruments they are not the bulb type. Looks a right fiddle to get to the wretched things either way. They look a bit like ETB instruments and mine has the change lights.
Any ideas of best access methods and bulb type.
Thanks

Taking the dash top off gives access to the back of the instruments. Only a handfull of screws. The hard part is getting the vent ducts to line back up when you put it back on. The bulb holders just clip into the back of the instruments and the bulbs themselves are normal push fit instrument bulbs.
