Hi Guys

 

Iv bought some indiglow dials from the z centre and have just taken the clocks out, will any of the bulbs need replacing and can i change any of them to fancy blue colour ones.....

 

also the pods have been taken out for the heater controls, what led bulbs can i replace these with......the more information you lot can give the better

 

Also my speedo convertor has been playing up, as when im driving it suddenly stops working, iv seen what is currently fitted and it has 4 wires (yellow, grey, black and red) the ones iv seen on ebay to replace it with have a 5th wire which is green....where would i put that green wire or does it not need to be connected

 

ANY HELP WOULD BE APRECIATED AS IM DOING IT ALL RIGHT NOW

 

Thanks before hand

Hi Fas

 

When fitting the indiglow dials youy wont need any bulbs as they are self contained, ie: the whole white section of the dials have all the relevant sections illuminated by the EL card they are printed on. It is worth putting in a 501 led in the right hand side of the dash as you look at it, so it will illuminate the odometer. The easiest way to power the indiglow dials are from the 2 prongs at the bottom of the dash binnacle, the left is the feed as you look at it. Also remove the 4 tiny bulbs in the bottom of the dash or it may ruin the effect.

 

With the heater pod, i found using a single led replacement for the 3 holes available is not sufficient to give a good light spread, so i place 2 in the top segment in the shape of a T to light the auto and demist symbol, 2 inthe arrows section, red for the up/heat and blue for the down/cold. Another 2 for the remaining icons along the bottom of the display. The washer switch needs to be taken apart to get an led in because of the angle and finally i usually replace the amber on/off leds with red 3mm leds to contrast the blue. They are soldered on the board as a direct replacement.

 

Regarding the speedo, it is most likely a dry joint on the speedo board, but it also depends on where you got the delimiter ie: ebay for £20 occasionally you may get a dodgy one, z centre more money but supposedly more reliable. I think the wiring remains the same, i think mine only has 4 wires but will check later.
