After an inconclusive search, I just want to find out about replacing a globe in a 2005 TD5. The glbe seams to have a light blue plastic cover, but I'm unsure how to remove it (unscrew, pull,etc...). Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Cheers
"To get to the 2 globes (which are T5's) in the speedo there are 2 holes on the back of the speedo. In these hole there is a blue globe housing in one and a black globe housing in the other. Use long skinny needle nose pliers or 2 thin flat head screw drivers and turn the square housing 90° to the left or right (doesnt matter) and the housing can then be removed or dropped out. Note the globes actually have integrated connectors (best way I can describe it). So this means the globe and the metal bits come out of the housing as one unit (just push in the metal clip things on the side and pull the whole unit out. I did replace these with leds. I basically broke the original globe to get the original metal connecting bits and soldered the connectors to the led. Actually very easy just very fiddlly cause the things are so small. Works a treat though. Will post pics soon for those interested."
-Thank you
I think so; I'd ask the supplier directly if they'll fit a defender but hey, thanks for finding them. Great colours - definitely a must get item I clicked the landrover link on their website and scrolled down to find the defender lights.
