It has done a Jag and the inside of the engine is rusty.

The bulbs I ordered arrived.

The 'track' and position numbers should be green, I think it only comes on with the lights. i only noticed as the S for sport looked illuminated but I couldn't see the button next to that for the cruise (if yours has it). Ah, okay. No the track doesn't light up green. The cruise button is also burn...

Well, that was easy.
