How do you change out the indicator lamps (oil. neutral etc)The lamp holders have a rubber cover that does not seem to undo easily??

You have to take the panel off and pull them out from the underside.

While you have the lenses off carefully put a drop of glue in them. the coloured bit of plastic has a tendancy to come off and they are not cheap to replace. not for there size anyway.

Hiya, Ian. Welcome to the community.

Is your problem removing the boot from the dash or the bulb from the rubber boot?

If the former, remove the dash (3 allen head bolts), get your nails under the lens surround and then ease the boot to one side. Should just pop off.

If the latter, just roll the rubber boot down until the bulb is exposed. Grab the bulb and pull/wiggle (gently) until it's free. It is difficult to grab but can be done. Whilst you're there, replace the bulbs (except hi-beam) with 10mm wedge LED's; easier to see in the sun.

Hope this helps.
