Hi team,
I'm trying to replace my dash backlights on an 08/09 STR (Japanese build) but after looking at the guides on youtube and other threads on the forum here I've run into a bit of a problem. For my build, I cant actually find the T5 bulbs/sockets which seem so obvious on other (older) builds. See attached is a pic of the rear of the dash panel. I've also had a look at the service manual and in the electronic sections for all suppliment's up to the year of my nav the bulbs are clearly indicated by the schematic in the EL "meter and gauge" section, but for my year they are not indicated. Possible the bulbs were somehow integrated into the combination gauge and are no longer replaceable? What the Fxxx?
I haven't yet pulled the PCB off the back of the gauge panel as I would need to disconnect the speed/tacho/fuel/temp needles and didn't want to risk breaking anything yet..
Has anyone come across this issue and can help me out to replace the bulbs?
