I have hunted around the forum and found various articles about changing the interior lighting color but really can't find anything on the size of the replacement bulbs/led etc.
I know a few people on the forum have done this so can you help me out please. So I have started pulling things apart and found the following: Heater Control Unit - 2 screw/plug-in type - brown base (with green condoms on) - 14 green (soldered to pcb) - 2 orange (soldered to pcb) Hazard Warning Button - 1 screw/plug-in type - grey base Ash Tray - 1 Wedge type Ignition Surround - 1 Wedge type Lighter Socket - 1 screw/plug-in type - large grey base Door Switch (window button) - 1 green (soldered to pcb) Problem is I have no idea what size bulbs/leds I need to replace them with. Do I need resistors? I've seen a couple of references to web sites selling leds and replacement bulbs BUT Does anyone have part numbers? Thanks in advance.

Success ...well a certain amount anyway.
Finished soldering the LEDs in my heater control unit and I'm really pleased with the results (apart from 3 that don't work) - and I didn't get any spares I left the 2 amber LEDs as is and replaced all the other 14 with red LEDs. I replaced the 2 twist-lock bulbs with white superbright twist-lock bulbs. The result is that it all matches up with my head unit. Incredibly, more by luck than judgement, the white superbright twist-lock bulbs in combination with the clear plastic interior of the heater control unit gives off a slight pale blue/white light which matches the stereo perfectly. I tried to take some pics but they came out cr*p because the flash kept going off. I'll try and take some other pictures when I can and post here. |
