Sir Jonas,

I trip to Radio Shack is in order to find a suitable replacement bulb in the 12 volt range. I don't know how big the bulb(s) are in the speedo...but they may be similar to other accessories like the light switches, heater controls, overhead DIS and radio controls in the steering wheel.

If they are the same, 'grain of wheat' lamps in the 12v range will work. You'll need an electronics soldering iron (25 - 40 Watt max) or one of those pencil cold touch soldering pens NOT a soldering gun to re and re the bulb(s) once you find new ones.

If you use a soldering gun (120 to 150 Watt), say good-bye to all the electronics that might also be on the board with the bulbs.

Hope this helps...
