V50 Speedo light bulb gone ,how to access and replace

[smokedmackerel]

My 2004 V50 Speedo works well but when it gets dark I can't see what speed I'm going at .
How do you access the lightbulb and change and replace or is it something that's easy to do or not
Thanks in advance

There is no bulbs, the LED are soldered to the board so you will need desolder. Did you check the dimmer?

Yes I checked the dimmer ,makes no difference,so how do I access the board ,is it an easy job ?

its Fairly simple to get the cluster out,
after that, good luck as the needles on the dials need to be removed and take to bits, then SMD LED units de-soldered, replaced ,rebuild, refit the needles in the correct alignment (no they are not keyed just push fit)

Hi

Would be tempted to check the power for the illumination is actually reaching the display board first before you actually start stripping the led's out.
Just in case it is a wiring or connector issue
