Speedo Bulbs

[Banshee]

After seeing the difference that one green bulb can make to how pleasing my speedo can look I've decided I want to upgrade all of my bulbs

I would like the bulbs to either be green or blue

These one's should do the trick right?

I'd be able to tell if they were normal bulbs but because the LED is different of course the picture has thrown me

Did you manage to get the right ones in the end?

Heater controls use the bigger version, same as the wedge bulbs in the side lights:thumb2

OK, so I took the plunge and ordered the blue ones and what a mistake, they are crap!!!! :doh Not only did I manage to put one in the wrong way round, melt a wire and blow 4 fuses but they are terrible for illuminating the dash board as because there are red bits on there the blue just saturates it making it look black so it is hard to see the needles, limiter markings etc.

I've decided that I'm now going to go for a set of the white LED's as they will give the dash a refreshed look rather than the whitey/yellowy glow from the old filament bulbs, should look smart and also show me the important info on my clocks lol

Not going to get them until the new year now though so looks like I'm going to be rocking the blue ones until then :doh

1 question though, does anyone have one of the holders that the bulb slots into and then twist locks onto the back of the clocks as the ones for my fuel light has decied it doesn't want to come back on now it's been removed, I know its the holder as others work in it's place so it's not the membrane on the back

I'll post some pics up in a bit, just got to go back to the car and out things back together and fix one of my spolights that has decided it's not going to work anymore GRRRRRRRR :nenau

Mine came yesterday, not had time to try them yet.. May not bother now :doh

Thanks for testing some, yes I wondered how the blue LED's would look with the red parts of the dials.

I will go for white then.

Forget to let you guys know about this!!!

I scrapped all of the blue bulbs and put some Ice White LED's in there and here was the result, even managed to fix all the holders as well so no need for replacments from 96terrano sorry mate lol

What do you all think?
