Hey guys
Just a little guide on how to fix a broken light in your ignition, mine stop working a few weeks ago and trying to find information on how to fix it was a little hard, but not impossible, but i thought i'd take all of that and put it into one simple guide so anyone can fix it. Or maybe you just want a change ? i changed mine to blue
but maybe you want red, purple, white etc, it's all up to you.
Step 1: Go on eBay or look in Jaycar for a T5 bulb, i got a box of 10 for $1.45 delivered to my door.
Step 2: Before starting, you should disconnect your battery just to be safe from blowing any fuses etc. Under your steering wheel, there is a lever that you can move in and out, when this is pulled out it allows the steering wheel to be moved down. All you'll want to do is pull the lever down to give you access to the light ring.
Step 3: Put 2 fingers in and feel for rubbers, just push on them and the ring should pop out like so.
Step 4: You should be able to see the bulb now, it's connected to the red and yellow wiring and is in a bulb holder. Twist the bulb holder and it should just pull up.
Step 5: Pull out the old bulb. This is tricky because its stuck in there pretty good. But it'll come out after applying some pressure. Don't squeeze the bulb, it'll break now you can put your new T5 bulb in like so.
Step 6: Put the bulb holder back in, push the light ring back into its position, put the steering wheel lever back up, reconnect the battery, turn the lights on and all done.
Hope it helps someone
