no, the bulbs have blown, its easy to remove the console and replace them (there are 3). You can buy the bulbs at vaux about 30p each.

Theres actually two bulbs that light the heater panel. Vauxhall will charge 64p for a bulb and £60 to fit it
I've got some nice coloured leds that will plug straight in the original bulb socket.

A set of 5 plug and play to do the dials with rev counter and mfd is £8.25, for the heater panel too its £13.25 [post is free unless you want it recorded then add £1.

reckon it would be a good idea to get the LED's off cobra tbh, the normal bulbs are shite & just keep blowing!

I'm very interested in LED bulbs, but do you do them in white (rather than the yellow of the normal bulbs) ?

White actually looks very good. Its surprising just how yellow the regular bulbs glow when you compare them to white.
