Put your hand under the dash and you should be able to feel the back of the speedo. Its kept in place by a bar. The bar sits over two bolts . Just unscrew the two nuts pull the bar towards the front of the car and the dial will come out into the passenger area.
Can't remember what size bulb it is but they are difficult to get hold of because they are longer than a standard bulb of that size. i didn't manage to find one so had to do with standard lenght which works but the speedo won't be as bright as the rev counter

That might explain why my speedo isn't as bright as the rev counter (which is a bit of a pain, and I find myself looking at the Road Angel for the speed when it's dark). Thanks Worty

I had a lot of issues with my gauges when I put my dash back together, bulbs going and each gauge either looking a different colour or brighter or darker!! so in the end changed all my gauges to Blue LED custom ones from the states, worked out about £800 - £900 all in for all the gauges and sensors, but the final result is amazing both in the day and night, worth every penny.
