You need to pull the OBC Out from compartment and on back there is 2 tabs
This takes off cover to reveal the bulbs

To go slightly o/t on this subject but not much... 1/ How do you "pull the obc out..." Brute force? 2/ I have No illumination on SWMBO's at all

Just put a small blade under it and it more or less falls out
Or on e36 there is a samll hole at back of compartment you can stick your finger in and push

Pete thanks for going to all the trouble of the photos , but mine is not a "Digital " one . Mine is a normal clock with the hands . I have had the clock out of the dash board & the back off the clock , but then it just seams to be a sealed unit ??? ------------- |

Remove clock, unplug wires feeding clock at the back of the clock in the centre should be the recessed screw in bulb, unscrew and replace with new bulb. [Refit is the reversal of removal] ------------- |

so it does / so there is OK - new bulbs = illuminated digital clock, and an OBC that now tells me when I press the check button that there are no errors!
Well, not so far anyway..... ------------- Cats know your every thought. But don't care. |
