The pliers and your help did it, the bulbs are changed! I couldn't believe how tight the sockets on the speedo were, I almost pulled the metal grounding plate off when the sockets came out, very tight. Thanks again, this site really is a life saver!

I thought that it might twist then come out but didn't want to pull any harder than I can with just my fngers. I guess I'll put the pliers on it and give it a pull.
Thanks again!
Don't need to get a sense of humor I've already have a great sense of humor, really!

JRV,

So true.

Walt, it could be worse, you could have a 308 GT4!!

You have to pull the 'bulb holder' out of the back of the speedo housing (bulb holders are inserted into holes in the back).


Hey..if you're going to work on your Ferrari you better get a good sense of humor quick, you're gonna need it. Cause it'll be alot healthier to laugh than it will be to cry. ;-)

Ok, I really know how to take the bulb out once I get to it. I guess I didn't ask the correct question so let me try again.
I've got the speedo out and can't see the bulb to take it out. I didn't want to start pushing, pulling or prying. So how do I get to the bulb itself?

I tried...but in the end I just couldn't resist.

Ok, I did a search and was able to get the instrument cluster out of my 308. Now I need to get the bulbs out, without breaking anything. So how are the bulbs removed? Thanks in advance.
