I would like to replace the dashboard lights and pod lights with led ones I notice there are 3 different sizes of bulbs anyone know what size I require or has anyone done this to theres? I did purchase some from ebay but the connection wasn't the same when they arrived so will have to swap

Hi Leeroy, you will need 4x T10 or 501 5way leds for the dash, forget the ones facing into the dash as they will ruin the effect, however you will also get some dark spots depending on the colour you choose.

The drivers pod you can use neo wedges T5 , but although you could use neo wedges on the aircon pod T5 and T4, you wont get a great deal of coverage from one led per hole, due to being directional, rather than omni/multi directional like a bulb and you wont light up the hazard or the wiper switch with anything except soldering an led in there.

Thanks groover i take it ebay is the best option?

Pretty much mate, i also use Amazon if i need something quick and sometimes cheaper.

Ok on the pod the heater side id just like to light up that screen part as mine is pretty dim so I need x4 T10's . and the one for the pod which u say is a T5 neo wedge correct?

I also need to do this.

4x T10/501 for the dash and T5 neo wedges for the drivers pod and T5 neo wedges for the temp and panel lumination, a T4 for the demister buttons

Groover I can see the neo wedges fitting in the pods about 3 or 4 I think but there are bigger bulbs in the pods also.

And there are 6 large bulbs in the clocks which dont look anything like the T10s on ebay

First pic remove the bulb from the brown holder and you have a 501 bulb, as suggested lol, also there are only 4 for illumination, one next to the temp gauge, between the temp and speedo, one between the speedo and rev and , one between the rev and fuel gauge , the one above the fuel gauge is the low fuel light, which isnt worth changing to led as it wont respond in the same way as a bulb to the signal.

 

The smallest is the T4 is usually the small black holder at the top of the aircon pod and the one you have in your hand is a T5, they come complete with holder when buying a new wedge, so dont get confused with having to remove the bulb from its holder. HTH

Right got me t10 -501 leds for the dash x4 and there absolutely shite worse than the standard bulb. I did buy some t10 leds for my side lights there bright white is it possible I can use them? Or are they for sidelights only?

You can use them as long as there not too tall.

 

I used LED strips in my dash cluster and the effect looks like this:

 

That looks really good!

 

Do you have an eBay link for the ones you used mondo

I think it was these, but it's been a couple of years since I bought them so...
