Questions about car interior changes.
Discussion
Hi, I have just purchased a 2007 3 series E90 and have a few questions about changing certain aspects of it.
I was wondering how hard is it to change the infamous orange lights that illuminate the MPH gauge and the rev counter etc, what bulbs do i need to buy and where can i get it done?
The car has a built in satnav screen, and when i put it in reverse the screen says no signal detected but the parking sensors work. If i want to mount a reversing camera to the back and then feed it into the screen is there a specific camera which you guys can recommend would be good to do this? I can only seem to find cameras that come with a screen as well.
On the entertainment system of the car it has a 'TV' setting. When i click on that setting it comes up with a grey fuzzy screen (much like an old fashioned telly receives when it doesn't receive signal.) Does this mean i can view TV channels through the screen with the right attachments. If so where do i get them from?
Any help is much appreciated,

The instrument cluster uses Surface mounted LEDs so it's not quite as simple as swapping bulbs, you have to get them re-soldered in.
There is a few tutorials and links for reversing cameras on E90post
The reason you only get fuzz is because it will be a terrestrial tv antenna and that signal doesn't exist anymore.
A change to a freeview tuner should sort that out. Again check e90post for info.
