Dash/instrument illumination

Post by DanH »

Changed the cigarette lighter a short while ago, but managed to blow the fuse in the process of putting it back in, and now the green dash/instrument illumination doesn't work. Is it likely to be that bulbs have blown along with the fuse? Looks pretty easy to replace them if it is, going by the haynes manual.

Assuming it is the bulbs...what bulbs do I need to replace them?

it's not very likely that yoyuo blew the bulbs. change the fuse and take it from there. iirc, aren't they fused with the sidelights?

Ah should have said, I've changed the fuse already.
