Instrument panel filament bulbs allow you to read the indications of the speedometer, tachometer, fuel level gauge and other instruments in the dark. The bulbs do not have a strictly limited service life and are replaced as they fail.
Important information about instrument panel filament bulbs
- Failure of these components is easy to notice: they fade, work intermittently, or do not work at all. However, if the bulb does not come on when you switch it on, it doesn’t always mean that it is blown. Sometimes wires, contacts, or the circuit board fail.
- Often, you can easily replace these components yourself. For this purpose, you will need a set of screwdrivers and pliers. Before starting, do not forget to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
- Buy instrument panel filament bulbs from well-known manufacturers, since only high-quality components will serve long. If the backlight in your vehicle is multicoloured, you will have to buy special colour caps.
- To ensure the bulbs won’t blow before time, make sure that the alternator works properly and check the wiring regularly. Opt for the products that meet the specifications of your vehicle perfectly.
