As the subject indicates - what is the replacement bulb and how do I access the it behind the voltmeter?

I noticed mine was dim (err out) las night.

Thanks, Steve

I have a feeling that they are LED lit, and a replacement gauge is needed. However, the light in the replacements had a different intensity, so HSV used to swap them all out under warranty.

I may be wrong, but I think the problem came up for Tattooboy.
That all sounds a PITA & £££

If I knew how to remove it (hopefully easy) I may be able to replce an LED.

Thanks for al lthe input.

Not sure what to do yet.

But I'd like to know how to access the instruments. I am hoping it doesn't involve lots of trim removal.

Cheers, Steve

I was advised it is centre mid dash out to get at it.
I've never neded to remove or touch anything around that area. Are there any guides, you tubes or pictures that may help?

I've always been wary of trim removal and replacement, as clips often break and surfaces easily scratch.
