Dash and Hazard bulb replacement

[cj_uk]

Hi Folks, the other halfs Micra K11 2001 instrument cluster is really dim (like the driver ) , it looks like the bulbs for the fuel and temp gauges have failed, also the hazard light switch bulb has gone. Can anyone tell me how to replace them and also what standard bulbs I need. Many thanks

Undo the screws to remove the instrument cluster shroud. One is right next to the steering rake adjuster, the other is same place on the other side. Lift the shroud off towards the windscreen. Now undo the 3 screws holding the instrument cluster on. Unplug it once loose. You can now get to your bulbs. Any motor shop sells replacements.

Try this link below, it should do the transformation for you, ill be ordering a set in bright white LED, any other colour would be over the top TBH but other colours do look good, just dont want my car looking like Fast & The Furious style colours......

Have you got a picture with the lights on in your car so we could have a look what they look like, cos these leds are round top and the leds i posted are flat top which eliminates flats spots in some areas of the dashclock giving equal lumination and not dark in some places etc.

the ones you posted are cheap, i may buy for the sake of it....the ones i posted the connection is traught to fit where as i can see is that you have to take the bulb of the connector and replace with this type...

the one i found which is also cheap and a direct replacement is :-
