Does the display work at all? The bulbs are easy to change, only hastle is taking the obc unit out first.

2 small bulbs backlight the lcd screen, and another larger bulb does the rest.

Has the OBC ever worked while you've had the car? Could be there for decorative purposes only!
Shine a torch at the display at an angle. Can you see data on the screen, very faintly?
