Hi All,
Just trying to replace the High Beam light in the Speedo but cannot seem to get the thing out?
What's the trick?
Thanks

so, is it so terribly easy that i must be a complete nong to not know how to do it, or has no one ever had to change one?:D

Usually the globe socket just pushes into the tube holder. Just pull it out and unscrew the globe and screw in another one and push it back in again. U obviously have to remove the speedo first. Which means u have to remove the dash plate on a s1 s2 s2a metal dash, and the whole dash cluster assy after removing the steering column covers, on a s3 plastic dash, carefully so u dont break it. Have fun.

I had to gently twist the globe holder, with a pair of pliers before mine came out.
Was a bit of rust holding them.
Taking off the steering wheel will help with the dash removal, as you wont have to twist things to get to the back, where the globes are.
Local Auto shop will probably have the globes.
