Three 12V 60mA around the meters and one 12v 60mA in the dial pointer. No need to remove the faceplate, they are accessible from inside. You need to remove two small cross-head screws on the dial pointer to access the bulb. If they have never been loosened before they can be hard to start turning. Make sure you are using a #0 Philips screwdiver with a good tip else you can strip the cross-head and have to drill them out - then try and find a replacement.

Thanks a lot!!!!
I've ordered 70ma. 12v. I guess they should be ok.
It's got light in the dial pointer but looks like it could be brighter around the meters. I'll check em.
Gonna recap it also[order should be here today] although it's sounding pretty darn good now. Hope I don't hurt it.
Anyway thanks for your help, it's appreciated.

Hopefully they're 4mm or smaller in diameter, Dave. :scratch2:

I hope they are too. Should have checked first but ordered the caps from PE along with some other stuff so ordered a couple bulbs also. Had done a search on the forum previously and that's what was recomended.

Ouch, PE's are 5mm (.2"), if they don't work out, I do have 4mm lamps, some are even pre-mounted in sockets, Dave.:yes:

Appreciate it Dave.
Let you know.

Thanks
