    They do -they take a wedge type bulb like the other cluster.. If yours isn't working pull the cluster -the low fuel warning light has a different colour holder to the other four cluster bulbs.

    Just don't use a led globe as it will stay on all the time :rofl:

    Your globe is probably blown then lol. My light is where the pump logo is.

    Lol nah I'm like Abe I would know, I never run my cars down part the last quarter.

    Plus also, you don't have to pull the cluster out to replace the four gauge globes or the low fuel globe (which mine is also the full pump logo). Just the two screws holding the hood or binnacle down... Lift that off and you'll see you can just reach down and take them out ;)

    Its where ?

    Mine is as per this picture, the "unleaded only" must be USA thing.

    Funny you should ask Karl I was just out testing my low fuel light just now (not seriously :p ), a couple of km's after it came on I put in 61.93 litres, didnt stuff it full just the first click, so mine has about 10 litres left when the light comes on. I would only count on 50 km's max in an emergency though.

    What do you mean by in the cluster? Along the bottom where you have the batt light, seat belt light ect. ?

    Not the best photo I know, but it gives you an idea anyway. Also series 3+ also had that premium unleaded fuel only warning thing on the fuel gauge.

    Thanks John , cam and Ryan . I have a different chip in mine and its stock engine . I have done 415kms and the needle is just off the last line . Im pretty sure mine is running rich coz Eric didnt want me to detonate :p

    But i think mine may be blown . Assuming it lights up like everyone elses :) Looks like yours John is just below the last line . Is that when it lit up ?

    Although all the globes seem to work fine . Also I dont have the premium unleaded label on the fuel gauge either .

    My low fuel globe is behind the cluster, that's why I thought mine was different?

    You know the fuel pump logo on the fuel gauge? Mine lights up when I'm running low on fuel.

    Also, not sure of yours has these, but the lights to the left of the steering wheel, in the little square... I don't have anything there, just a clanking plate. All my lights are in the actual cluster.
