Dash Bulbs

Postby JayVersion"R" » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:07 pm

I have changed my dials to white dials but the original bulbs are very poor. I want to get new ones nice and bright anyone know were I could order the lot?

Do you want the actual bulb or would you consider changng to "the bright side"..( as opposed to the dark side..)..and swapping them for a bunch of LEDS?

Not too big of a job - but it does easily take a day :-) it's a day well spent though.. Keep light spots in mind especially if you change the bulbs in
the "aircon screen"
..you'll do well to pick up a pair of diffusers somewhere. (Maplins stock them sometimes..).

Enjoy - I know I did..

No was real easy, didn't take long at all, i would say it took about an hour in all. what I would suggest is to leave in the orginial dials and put the whit ones over it, coz if you don't the light will only emphaise the elctric components at the back. The ideal solution is brighter dash lights. but it looks the business
