Tom, it's an LED, not actually a bulb. Take the panel apart and you can easily remove it with a soldering iron.

ABS light in the instrament panel needs removed.

I posted this in the computer section and had no responses yet. I am re-installing the instrament panel today and need some quick help so I figured I would get a quick responce here. Forgive me modoraters <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I don't have ABS anymore so I get the annoying ABS light in the instrament panel. I heard the only way to get rid of this problem is to remove the bulb that illuminates the ABS. I have the instrament panel out and can't seem to find the bulb. There are quite a few of removable (twist out) bulbs in the rear of the panel. Which one is it? Help. How do I achieve my goal.
Thanks in Advance
Tom

I can't answer your question, but I can suggest a little square of electrical tape to cover it up.

I did the electrical tape also for a few of them. Works great and not really even noticeable.

I wish I could find a wiring diagram of the dashlights. I would love to tap into that ABS light, use it for my line lock light or something along those lines. That would be pretty cool dont you think?
