funny onion Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Next time i'm at scrapyard i'll grab some and if you're still in need ill post it out! Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Thats a nice guesture but ideally want a new bulb because all the old tired bulbs are getting replaced Would be ideal if you got loads of them and see if anyone good with electronics can make a led version Quote
funny onion Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Well there's just no pleasing some people! haha jokes... if i had the holders i could easily make LED ones Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 I am ocd like that haha I been fitting leds where I can and replacing whats old with new. Go the scrappy and get the holders mate I would well take a oem green led version off you Quote
funny onion Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 As it happens I do have some 12V green LED's actually- replacing the glow panel bulbs with them when i get chance so i'll look into it for sure Quote

Djaniero Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Deffo get a new bulb if you can. They get mega dull after 15-20 year of use.I was thinking about trying some leds too....but a couple of dudes said that they ended up frying some of the copper strands on the circuit board with them? Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah I heard the same about the leds in the speedo unit hense not getting leds for it Even though I really really want leds in the speedo Quote
Djaniero Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I think i m going to head to Toyota today and bite the bullet.Found these ones....but again led.http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/191231318661 Quote
amatthews45 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Ask them if they can just sell one and try it. Prob is your need a green one or a green cover Maybe a magic marker can make it green Quote
davehart Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 http://www.consumabulbs.com/ If they don't have it then Toyota. Quote

Djaniero Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) You guys heard of Google?Found this in seconds: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/R509TJBR-60MA-T3-Panel-Bulb-14V-1.2W-Brown-Base.html Ordered one of these, but it looks a smaller than the oem one one. Will give it a try in the morning and see if I can get it to fit. Edited August 4, 2014 by Djaniero Quote
Djaniero Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Its too small man!! ... the bulb holder is a lot smaller than the original, and so is the bulb. So I decided to remove the original bulb from its holder and replace it with the above bulb. It works no doubt, but its quite dim as its a smaller bulb. Oh well....the search for one of these bulbs continues. Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 That was a t3 bulb right? Should I try a t4 then you reckon? Quote

Djaniero Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 That one is an led bulb mate.I d say to remove the original bulb and take it to your motor factors or halfords. I m gonna try the same. Quote
amatthews45 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Yeah I am gonna try a led see how it works. I ordered the t4 size lets see if it fits eh Quote
