2005 California EV Instrument panel lighting

Does any one know what types of bulbs if there are any in the Instrument Panel (chrome) and Speedo and Rev counter clocks.

Have a look here, page 151 onwards. It only gives you the spec
“Instrument panel warning lights 1.2 W”
“Speedo, rev. counter warning lights 3 W”
You will probably have to take out the old ones and take them to Halfords or similar to get replacements. The manual does show you how to get the old ones out.

Hi Don-Spadas I have replaced all the instrument panel lights with T5 LED much better fit these are and much brighter.

Im not that familiar with the EVs electrics but I guess its similar to earlier big blocks.
In which case if you’ve changed the “charging lamp” you may have a problem with exciting the alternator as it doesn’t draw enough current.
The solution is to put a 68ohm resistor in parallel with lamp.
Ps I have a spare resistor.
