ilghap Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Hi guys.I need someone who knows about LEDsI know nothing about leds. so I would need some help.I want to replace some of the dash bulbs on my dash to LEDs. At the moment I see little light bilbs with a green nipples on it.I want to replace them with a White LED but I am unsure which ones I need.However I have managed to find a little info but I am still unsure which ones I need. (reading from japan auction) they are saying something about T3-1 and T4.2 do these sound right?Any good place to buy these from? found 1 on ebay from ireland but seems to be quite expensive.....unless thats the going rate? Thanks Quote

glanzav98 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Take out a bulb and measure the base of it then look at the sizes below to see what you need. Then go to this link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Neo+Wedge+LED+white&_sacat=0&_odkw=Neo+Wedge+LED+bulbs&_osacat=0T3 - 8mm Base diameterT4 - 10mm Base diameterT5 - 12mm Base diameter Quote

Nanglebadger Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 be careful with LEDs in the dash cluster.you seen the green plastic circuit board on the back of the cluster? it has copper strands between all the bulbs. when i put LEDs in they melted those copper strands. I've melted two circuit boards using LEDs.Phil. Quote
Snazzyblowfish Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 mine look like 501 bulbs, is this right? Quote
steve-gers Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 The 501 bulbs are for the warning lights down the bottom Quote
Snazzyblowfish Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 ah, okay. sound, how many green bulbs are there in the cluster? Quote
daniel_g Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Dont know what T size they are but there are 12 or 13 little ones, depending if you have ABS or not, 1 slighty bigger for the fuel gauge and 3 big 501 bulbs. What T are all these so we can order up ? Quote
Jim* Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Has anyone bought any and know what sizes we need to buy? Quote
Jim* Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Okay I have found out there are two 501 led's And I think 4 T5 LEDs Hope this helps! Quote
JayJ Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Did this a year ago so I'm not quite sure but 2xT10 and 4xT5 IIRC. Buy a few extras and you won't miss one. Also remember to check the + and - :-) Edit: Glanza cluster from back, thanks to austarletclub Edited February 6, 2013 by JayJ Quote
