Posted April 9, 201113 yr comment_352222 Right, all my guages work fine, even if the tacho is a little jumpy .. However ALL the dash lights are very very dull, even with the dimmer up full. Anyone got a resistor mod, or a dimmer mod for these??? or can you get LED insertd to replace the old style bulbs?? Thanks again!

April 9, 201113 yr comment_352228 havent looked at mine yet but seem bright, pull the dash apart and check bulb size and go from there. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39155-240k-dash-lights/#findComment-352228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 11, 201113 yr comment_352396 Hey, from memory some the globes in the dash are T10 (globe size) and some are a different size, but the main ones you want to change are the T10 ones, also there is a green cover over where the globe sits so if you want the LEDs to actualy light up your dash you may want to get rid of them, I did it by placing a screw driver in the hole (once I removed the globe) and give it a decent tap till the tabs break. I changed mine a couple of years ago but they weren't bright enough, was a single led, but the new ones are alot brighter these days, more LEDs per globe. Autobarn sell them at about three times the price you can get them from eBay, I bought some recently and from memory I paid about $20 Inc postage for 10 globes from hong kong. SMD LEDs seem to be the brightest I've found so far. Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39155-240k-dash-lights/#findComment-352396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 26, 201113 yr comment_364854 we always need them to be green, to keep the classic stylewhat I did, I replace them all by green bulb ( made in malaysia )actually I didnot noticed how many watts are they, but at least they fitwithout base modification, as you know the bulb base ( holder ) is bigany way I got the green illumination but I did not get the brightness, so I willsearch for the LED bulb, but what I am worried about is the holder modification Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/39155-240k-dash-lights/#findComment-364854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
