Replace dash warning lights
How would I replace the dashboard warning lights? My ABS/VSC lights aren’t working and I haven’t found anywhere online about replacing these lights.
Also what kind of lights should I buy to replace them, do they need to be OEM?
P.S this isn’t about the backlight on the dashboard, its the warning lights like ECT PWR, cruise control, seatbelt etc.

It’s pretty straight forward, pull the cluster out and then you’ll find them all lined up, I replaced mine with 3mm LED’s. You’ll find a post with instructions for removing the cluster in the “how to” section.
Okay, just did this.
Looks like the VSC off, VSC and ABS light were deliberately removed, probably because 2 weeks after I bought the car the brake master cyl died and the fuel pump died on the first week.
I didn’t know what exact new light to buy so I just switched the rear warning light to the VSC off as thats more useful.
For anyone wanting to do this:
Its a very annoying job to do, some of the screws are very difficult to remove and a lot fell into the abyss
Also to remove the lights, its twist and pull not pinch (some youtube tutorial said pinch)
would have been a 20 minute job, but the fuel guage flipped when I took it off making it a 2 hour job as I had to open it completely and flip it over.
