Good solution.

I just pulled the bulb out when I replaced that pesky 85mph speedo with a
120mph speedo.

Posts like this (below) make this list fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     I CAN'T RESIST GETTING IN ON THIS SHI_T LIGHT ACTION!!!
     
     IMHO:      The excellent German engineers who were forced to sting
us with 
     this "annoying" device at least left a silver lining or back door
for those 
     of us who drive like Nigel Mansel during each and every rowing of
the gear 
     box.
     
        If you drive HARD, and accelerate like hell, the light never
activates 
     and you find yourself in fifth gear where you will never see it!! 
This is 
     the back door, the designers put in the algorithm "NO LIGHT IF FULL 
     THROTTLE ACCELERATION IS IN PROGRESS".  OH Happy Day!
