Are you sure it is a light bulb to be changed?
Because the lights inside the IC are all LEDs...
For quite some time aren't used anymore standard light bulbs inside any Instrument Clusters from any car manufacturer...
So if a light doesn't lit anymore, then is a slim chance that the LED is defective... Maybe some other things...

Very many thanks.

I am looking to replace the white LEDs with Blue; I just can't get away from the blue lights that I loved in my VW a few years ago, and since I do alot of driving at the moment (about 250 miles a day), and all in the dark, I think the time has come to upgrade.

The IP removal doesn't look too difficult (just a couple of screws). Will upload some photos with the results Very Happy Very Happy Freelander 2.2e HSE , Privacy, Fully debadged, 19" Chrome SHadow alloys

That I would like to see Smile

If they are indeed white leds and the actual view is greenish, won't the blue discolor?

Shouldn't that be "I would like..." ?

Well the rule is blue and green should never be seen, might have to put some yellow ones in (yellow + green + blue??) Laughing Laughing Freelander 2.2e HSE , Privacy, Fully debadged, 19" Chrome SHadow alloys

I have the information about Outlander XL. A owner of XL has writed that he has changed a red backlight. He easy removed existing red film. Maybe is analogous film here?
