Hi everybody I hope you can help me with this on my speedo when I flick the lights on a orange light comes on the one above the dipped headlights Is it supposed to come on or is there a fault or Is it supposed to be like that when you put the lights on.
I took the speedo out and noticed that one of the bulb holders is missing to iluinate the speedo could this be part of the problem ? regards Alessandro

Yes - sounds like stray light from the speedo illumination shining through. Switch off the speedo lights - is it still glowing??

Maybe the speedo lamp has been plugged into the orange hole by mistake .... take it out, plug it in where it should be and then seal off the orange hole. Orange light 'should' mean desperately low oil pressure - and there should be another one for blocked oil filter warning..........

The blue light is main beam warning light, not dipped light. The orange light next to it is the blocked filter light. The important orange light is the one on the other side of the speedo which is the low oil pressure light

As it is part of the wiring loom it is probably lurking in the tangle of wires behind the speedo
