Seems my dash lights are failing. From left to right they seem to be burning out. Is there a write up on replacing the dash lights? How difficult is it to get behind the gauges (Speedo, tach etc) to replace the lighting?

Any info is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Pat

 

Very easy. Pull the wood off from ipk area. Remove the screws andpull ipk forward. Disconnect and remove pack. Replace bulbs and reinstall. You may want to disconnect battery prior to commencement. Also set steering column out and down.

 

make sure you replace the bulbs with the ones with the same wattage

 

Thanks to both of you. Would you please clarify what IPK stands for?? I have been looking through my on-line manual for dash removal, but I can't find a description or illustration depicting the "pack" you mention.

Is there a "best" place to get these bulbs? or is the dealer the place to go.

Thanks for everything

 

IPK is abbreviation for instrument pack. Look under fascia, major gauge? Probaly fascia removal will see remove ipk and refer to sro **.**.** That should give you what you need. Easy job. The bulbs are twist in holders on back of pack.
Get the bulbs from the dealer. I have to do mine also. If you cannot find, I will take pics as I do mine this weekend and post Saturday evening.

 

Thanks, that was easy enough. Now to get replacements.

Thanks again for your help,
Pat

 

That was the cheapest trip I will ever have at the Jag dealer. $5.68 for four replacement bulbs and I figure 20 minutes of my time.

 

Lol. Glad it worked out. I am thinking of going with purple for mine. Going to change all including doors, shifter etc.

 

damn up here there $10 each

 

We charge $0.90 per bulb I think.

 

I think they are more if you buy the glass bulb and plastic holder together. I just bought the four glass bulbs and reused the plastic holder

 

o maybe

 

Hi,

I need to replace a dash bulb, one of the bulbs illuminating the speedo and the rpms. The problem is I cannot find which is the correct bulb. I have XJR from 2000.

could you send me the bulb specifications or even better the part Id number?

thanks a lot.

 

it should have it written on it, mine said Toshiba 14V 3.4W, they're a T3 "wedge" fitting, I've gone LED, fit and forget for the lifetime of the vehicle, you might as well do all 8 in the IPK.

Anyone got the part # for the bulb holder/socket not the bulb ?!

Edit :

Never mind it appears to be XR83865.

 

How do you remove the wood fascia. Without breaking. Thanks.

 

how do you fix a steering that won't go in or out or down. stuck in the down position.
