It will deff be a electric one, its easy peasy to get out, no messing with anything!

Take the steering coloum plastic off - turn the wheel side to side to get access to screws (maybe under little plastic covers). Pop this off. Unscrew the speedo suround ( 2 in bottom, 1 in the top above speedo), pull this off (dont be afriad to pull). Then, undo the two screws either side of the speedo and lift the clip out at the top. The whole unit comes out, bulbs that need replacing are the ones labeled A, B, C (green backs normally!) Jobs a gudun!
