:hi: I want to replace a burned bulb (speedo) and the neutral indicator. The speedo cable that is connected under the board, is tight and didn't want to remove with pliers (don't want to mess the speedo up). If I use pliers the cable can be removed; but I am afraid once the bulb be replaced, the cable will not fit or not tight again. What you guys recommend when replacing burned bulbs?

Cheers :tup:

Don't worry, if you are careful, you can safely remove the speedometer cable with a pair of pliers. :) After replacing the extinguished bulbs, I suggest your replace the speedometer cable by hand; you don't need to tighten the cable very much for it to remain in place. ;)

You can buy replacement bulbs for the speedometer and indicator lights at most auto part stores. You can also buy LED bulbs to replace the stock, incandescent bulbs. The LED bulbs will last much longer. ;)
