Dash Computer lights out 740il

Not sure what the correct term is for the computer on the dash. It has the clock, max speed, mpg etc. The light went out. How do I repair?

Mucho Gracias

That is the OBC = On Board Computer.
Go to my website below, there is a link to Johan and Sean's page, he has detailed instructions how to replace them.

ohh, I forgot, that is for the E32 740. If yours is an E38, then it is different. E32 were built from 09/1986 - 04/1994

I have the same headlights as the e32 on your web site. I thought it was a 32????

What is your VIN? On my website is a VIN decoder which tells you all details.
Add these details to your profile so it is easier to answer, even the built year and month is often important to find the right wiring diagrams.

I used my insurance card for my VIN and got an error message. I'll look at the title and or car in the morning.
