Brake warning dash display

[MattKellett]

So after a while of realising my seatbelt display light never comes on, I thought that I should check the bulb. Anyway what I discover is that the bulb is shattered, as is the brake warning bulb. Now this might come across as me being an idiot, but does anyone have any idea how I can replace these bulbs. I really can't figure out if they pull straight out like the small dasboard bulbs or if they twist out. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

I don't really know the answer to your question as mine are still functional, but just in the interest of a second opinion, do you really want these little bulbs lighting up? IMO, they're kind of like that annoying buzzer that goes off when you leave your key in the ignition, or the CASIS light. Leave them busted and be happy, or yank the shards out and save .00002 grams.

If your referring to the rectangular lamp assembly on the dash with three functions (seat belt, hand brake and brake wear), I'm pretty sure those bulbs are soldered in. It might be easier to replace the whole thing. I think I paid $5 for a used but working one.

Tim, yes thats the one. I tried to see if the good bulb would come out, and it woundn't twist out or pull out, so you must be right. I'll look out for a used one or pick one up from our host.
