My S40 dashboard panel is fitted with a "trip computer" that show average speed, average mpg, outside temp, engine and oil temp etc. It is on the right of the dashboard panel right next to the speedometer. Recently the light behind the trip computer has gone and I cannot see the information at night. The bulbs behind the speedometer and revmeter are still OK. All those bulbs are lighted as soon as the key is turned (not linked to the headlights).

Do you know if it is possible to renew the failed bulb? I know how to take off the dashboard panel from the car but I don't know if it's possible to replace any bulb inside it. Sounds like a sealed unit and the bulbs look like leds, right??? Any information about that? Also does anyone have a part nr for this bulb???

Thanks a lot
