wpoll will become famous soon enough
Today I had to remove the instrument cluster, for the first time in the life of the car (from what I can tell) to replace a blown backlight lamp/bulb. Not bad for over 200,000kms and 13 years!

I was tempted to replace all five incandescent lamps with LEDs but I figured the incandescent lamps kept the instrument cluster slightly warm and therefore free of moisture - so I'm sticking with the factory set up!

My local dealer had the lamps in stock for $10 each.
