How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Cluster is lit by two 3W capless bulbs. These are fitted into the two larger bulb holders visible on the back of the cluster.
Be sure to replace them with the correct 3W bulbs, as the more commonly available 5W version of these WILL melt the plastic coloured domes and light guides.
