Thumbs up XJ8 (X308)

Am working on my 2001 XJ8 3.2 but the bulb(s) look to have just blown on the main dash area and only the left hand side of the speedo and all the rev counter are lit. The right side of the speedo is dark and the fuel/temp gauge not visible in the dark. Is there anywhere on the Forum, or can anyone help with how to remove the wood/gauges etc to get into this area and will it be just a single bulb gone or a few of them?
Thank you in advance for any guidance or pointers

Run the search tool: you will find lots of threads on how to pull the wood panel off (grab from front and gently tug it off). There are also many threads on replacing the bulbs, even some hints on fuses to check. Best pieces were done by Bob Goff and Danelsand years ago.

I remember a Youtube that was nearly perfect for running the job end to end.

+1 on Jim's suggestion....and to add to it, there is thread that lists each bulb # for each area which may be part of Bob Goff's thread.
