SupraD06 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 hi all, been thinking about changing the lights in the dash to blue bulbs instead of the stock green ones, so i was just wondering how easy is this to do??? do i just take the dash appart and swap the bulbs? and where do i get these from??? also if anyone has done this is it better with stock black dials or is it better with white faced ones???

Mike M Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The dash takes I think 3 of the Halfords LED501B prism bulbs that fit directly into the little black twisty holders and one smaller led for the temp gauge that you can get online think its a 286 type. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16769&cat=733&page=1 They also fit in your footwell lights, ignition ring and ashtray. Mine turned out looking fine not really bright to see during daylight but looks good in the dark. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The dash is a piece of cake. I can have it out in about 3 minutes without any damage now that I've done it about 20 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00gzy Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 all i've managed is the top section with the oil lights etc and the auto gear surround section, too scared to touch the rest lol, not the new LED's just the dismantling bit!
