LED conversion kit

[96terrano]

I'm thinking of getting these for my t2. http://www.ultimatemods.co.uk/nissan-terrano-dashboard-speedo-led-bulbs.html is it a hard job removing the instrument cluster I'll probably go for white bulbs so there brighter and to keep it simple.

There are threads if you dig around and some have photos too. There are also a couple of guys on here who were if not still selling them too. I think one problem that has been come across is the delicate connections between the tracks on the back of the cluster to the bulb holders. Think they are a bayonet fitting and don't allways make a good connection. Also you have to get the replacement LED's the correct way around as they have a pos and neg connection.

Are LEDs not just a oneway circuit:nenau

they are indeed, which is why the fact its anode/cathode rather than +/- is important as that stops the current flowing backwards.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time for bed!

It's quite interesting..............................how they work. Sorry fell asleep for a second then:doh
