Dashboard illumination lights failng
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:03 pm
Hi,
I have a problem with my '98 4.0L Xj8. The back illumination on the dashboard seems to be failing in 2 places. These are behind the Defrost button and the rear screen Demist button.
Another issue is that since noticing the above I see that there is no blue green illumination around the J gate. YOu still get the letters and numbers illuminating redf when the gear selecter is in that position though. The only thing is that I can't remember if the J gate did ever light up blue green or not. Can anyon put me straight on that?
So, I was wondering if anyone had any tips about the dashboard lights e,g,
are they individual LEDs or is a some kind of light pipe?
is it a difficult job to replace the lights - any tips welcome?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
