Bulb out on dash of chimaera
Discussion
well to change the bulbs on any of the instruments the top of the dash has to either be unbolted at one end(from the left hand side two nuts to come off from underneath) or take the whole top off which will require the bolt at the far end of the right hand side to come off as well .they are fiddly to get at but be carefull as you can damage the wooden veneer bit ,its easy once you have done it a few times ,i think there may be some details on the tvr books website with a few pics ,dont give in to having a garage do it cos you never know what they are doing to your pride and joy.
trefor's site is the definitive reference on dash removal in a chim

You can put a brighter bulb in, I had it done on my '92 chimp (with the old style ticking odometer). It did make a difference, but it was never as bright as the other dials.

I did this on my '95 car. 4W instead of 2W (or whatever, I can't remember exactly, the next wattage up) - the speedo is now slightly brighter than the other dials.
