    I want to exchange the bulb behind the odometer for an led, which I hope
    will be brighter and make the figures more easily readable. Can anyone tell
    me how to access the bulb holders?

    My clock bulb has just failed as well. Is there a trick to access that too?

    Many thanks.

    You might find the l,e,d, lights a little too bright.

    too?



    I don't understand why they don't apply LEDs in the first place. They are
    also much more durable (I think they will never fail), and use less power
    than bulbs.

    Depends on the LED and the ballast resistor.

    But surely LEDs are cheaper?

    Would be happy to! But can anyone tell me how to access the bulbs? Thanks
    again!

    Don't know if others have the same problem but I can read the odometer OK at
    night and on a dark winter day but in bright conditions the figures are
    indecipherable.

    Ah ha. Your torch LED is a white high power one one plus compact driver
    electronics.

    The small ones used for panel indicators on white goods, hifi's etc are less
    than 10p each in quantity. Add an extra 2p for a ballast resistor.

    Can be had in a range of brightnesses.

    If this link does not break (expect it will) see here:
