Hi all,

I'd appreciate some advice on changing the dash and check computer lights from the dated orange to RED
for my black M3!
I have seen led replacements on ebay but are these any good!
Also is it a big job gaining access to the bulbs behind the dash/instrument panel?

Appreciate any advice on this.

to get the clocks out, you just need to undo 2 little screws at the top, tilt it forwards, and pull it out a little to undo the connectors. they have an arm locking mechanism where a little button needs to be pressed to allow the arm to swing back, and as it does, it levers the plug off.
the bulbs for the clock are easy enough, just give them a 1/4 turn and they pull out, like the brake and tail lights.

for the OBC etc and other stuff, some of the lighting is done by LEDs which will need unsoldering and swapping
