far4ngn 14 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 In the Facelift E30 with an OBC, the display can be fixed by buying a light bar...small white piece of plastic with two bulbs. I'm wondering if anyone has the part number available, so I can order from BMW. Cheers Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Replace them with LED's for double the brightness. OBC is way too hard to read normally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 This is what you need to do I wouldn't recommend going Will's way. I did it like this to replace the bulb in my clock, and had no end to trouble trying to put it back together. Apparantly there is a way to remove the OBC by removing the glovebox, and leaving that front control panel intact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
far4ngn 14 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 Mark, yup part 4 is what I need...I replaced part three thinking that was the bulb...duh! Martyn, thanks for the info...I'll be taking the centre console etc out again and may have a go using 12v bulbs or LEDs. See if I can get them from BMW first.
