Hi :)

Post by trawt »

I finally bought myself an FTO!
Love this car.

Just one question though, is it difficult to replace the backlights behind the vac/oil gauges? (This isn't likely to be a fuse, is it.. nothing else is affected.)
Yup i'm a total noob.


Thanks. ;)

I have never heard of lights blowing in those, AFAIK they are LED's. I would check fuses for a start. There is a DIY on here somewhere for removing the housings etc that hold them.

Welcome to the club ... I had to read your name a couple of times ... I really thought it said Twawt ... :oops:

Anyway ... Yeah, not sure about the problem ... Is it a stock or aftermarket gauge :?:
I just had to add it ......

Thanks :]

It looks like they're both stock (mits logos).
Had a quick look at the fuses and they seem alright. Might have a more thorough look at fuses soon, and i guess when i get some time i'll try taking the centre surround off.
