Looks like a new one is required, you can now get them with a strip of LED lights fitted, just cut the old connector off and join the cables
You need a transformer for the LED lights Skip. I bought some thinking they'd just join up to the connections but they didn't work. I found out I needed a transformer.
No you dont, you just need the correct wiring, this will be the wiring that come from the back of the meter to the top sign
I changed from bulbs to a strip of LED after making 2 solder joints, just soldered wires to the +/- on the end of the LED strip, and then used connectors on the ends of the cables just in case I ever wanted to remove the sign.
Talking of LEDs you can get them to replace nearly every bulb on your car/ hack, like stop tail, side lights, indicators, number plate and interior courtesy some might need them with no dash warnings due to the can bus system fitted to most new vehicles but they are also available then you should never have to change a bulb again
