Title: Replacing Clock Bulb.
Post by Spannerdemon on Aug 26^th, 2006, 9:56pm

I know this has been covered before, but can somebody please tell me HOW LONG it would take to remove the fascia to replace the clock bulb .

I've read the links, so no need to quote them, but an idea of time involved would be useful.

Also, if anyone has a photo/picture of the offending bulb that would be a big help, then I can get one in advance.

I presume that you have to take the whole fascia out to replace this bulb......or is there another way....seems like a lot of work for something so basic.

Thanks in advance. :)

hi there

about 1-1 1/2 hours. you need to remove the radio as well, so check that you have the code.

The bulb is the same as those in the cc panel.

OK......but what do THEY look like?

Really would appreciate a picture of one if possible, or a description or something (anything) of what it looks like. I have the FINIS number but there's no Ford Dealer in Torquay.

I don't want to strip out the fascia before i have identified and bought a bulb. :)

Sorry posted the wrong pic, they are for the headlight bezel, I will try to find the correct bulb.

Hope this link works.

There are 2 versions of this bulb, get the higher wattage one as I got the lower one and the illumination is rather feeble.

Good luck.

Yes that's the correct one, apologies for the confusion. 1.2W is the correct rating I think.

Even better!!

I've got a few of these which were spares when I changed the speedo/tacho etc unit on my old Granada 2.4i. ghia
They look the same anyway.

Update....NO they aren't!! DRAT!

Top Man Thank you. :D :D
