Great video. Do you know if I can cancel out the suspension light on the dash by removing the bulb on the far right top? I replaced my air suspension with springs , but there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the suspension light. Your thoughts?
Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah removing the bulb might work, if there's a bulb behind that particular warning.

There's 5 bulbs to replace. I recently switched mine out for white led's & couldn't be happier, kinda turned it into a cheap looking lcd display.

My pixels seem to work fine but the display is very dim on the left side. So, want to go in and change all five bulbs in one session.

03X5, what did you use to replace the bulbs, T10? Or T5? And can I reuse the original sockets? Looked at pictures and vids but no one mentions whether the original sockets and bulbs are separate and can use T10s LEDs or if I need LEDs and sockets.

Don't feel like pulling the cluster just to check and then again to do the actual replacement.....

@Trix5 hi you ever get to bottom of this, can you just get a bulb alone and not the holder too?

What do you actually mean? Do you want change to LED bulb even if the original Osram bulbs last for a decade+?

@Clavurion mornin, x5 is 21 years old the oem lasted long enough in the end as in other post I ordered 4 bulbs @15.w rating from below , bit annoying that after seeing and searching code you sent 2452MFX6 in post as to type of bulb I found same i think from china half the cost.....but they were not rated at 1.5w they ranged form 1.1 1.2 1.3 and 2.0w and i believe the cluster bulbs are 1.5w
