Dunc Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Morning, Look, I'll freely admit I've no idea what the hell you call the numbers next to the gearstick on an auto, so I went with 'Selection Indicator'! Anyhow, does anyone know how the 'Selection Indicator' symbols are illuminated? My Missus moans about not being able to see 'D' and 'R' in the dark without putting the interior light on... I don't want to spend half a day taking the centre console out only to find the lights work off the selector cable or something daft. Cheers Dunc. P.S. Isn't she lovely? (the truck, not the wife!)

zardos Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 There are two bulbs on either side of the plastic housing, one shown in the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 3 watt capless bulbs push the display surround froward and lift from the rear and unclip then slide up the selector you will then get to the bulb on each side, a 1/4 turn of the bulb holder and they release from the housing, replace the bulb and refit, it's a bit fiddly as there's not much wire to the bulb holder.

Range Rover Blues Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeap, fiddly. The power comes form the ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 one thing to watch is the heat generated by the bulbs, mine had 5 watt bulbs in each side, a bit too hot for you to touch, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks chaps. I'm going to attack it this afternoon and try and make it all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 LED may be better then, use little electricity and don't generate much in the way of heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I Replaced mine with LED's but the thing is most replacement LED's are directional and the side illumination is poor, I eventuly ended up glueing alloy kitchen foil to them fo form a reflector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
