  • Sleep... What's that?
Jaycar probably sell a light that will screw in in place of the globe. It might pay to remove the centre stripe (unless you've got hotplates).
I'm so far behind at work, I'm almost retro!

Just search for LED's?

Mate told me i can only use LED's the same colour as the globes already in there, i currently have the green tinge.

gently sandpaper the green stuff off the back of the gauge face. you need some of those tiny precision screwdrivers to remove the gauge faces.

Thanks alot,

The LED's will slot in or be wired in where the globes were, one other quick question. Will the Illumination buttons still work?

the leds on ebay come pre modded into the little socket that is used in the gauge clusters, so its as simple as changing a light bulb.. well, about 10 light bulbs.

the bulbs are here:

as for illumination buttons - i'm assuming you mean for adjustment of brightness, i dont know.. but someone else will

I reckon the illuminations will still work considering all they do is change the amount of resistance in the circuit (Thanks year 11 physics for that one!)
So it doesn't really matter whether you have a LED or a globe its only the resistance that changes not any wiring inside!

The illumination still works, just IMO even at it's brightest they're not bright enough. I'm sure you could do something to boost it but yer, my thoughts
