Jellybean Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Had a look at a few threads on here and found a few ebay broken links If I want to install White LED bulbs in the heater control unit and the Dash cluster , what bulbs do they take? I think they are called a Neo wedge, but could not conclusively say looking at the threads Any PNP solution for the Speedo Cluster , you get patches of intense light using the OE positions , would probably need some form of LED strip Speedo Cluster T10 wedge bulbs and a T5 wedge bulb Edited December 19, 2017 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Stu Hagen in the states does a nice set that looks to spread the light nicely across the cluster. I've heard they're not cheap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Interested in this also, would like to upgrade the bulbs in my dash cluster and controls too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 If you are talking just changing bulbs then the speedo dials is T10 wedge bulbs and a T5 wedge bulb. I have them in my dash and I wouldn't say they are patchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you must of got good ones, have they lasted long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you must of got good ones, have they lasted long? They have lasted a while, long enough for me not to have a link. I have mixed feelings about Chinese stuff, it mainly goes buy it if it doesn't work nothing major lost as so cheap. Also a lot of UK sellers are repackaged Chinese stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I got these last month and what you can do is take them out the plastic case and wrap on original plugs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-10-X-T5-LED-Car-Gauge-Dash-Speedo-Dashboard-Light-Bulb-Lamp-6000K-Practical/372068943575?var=640966647454&hash=item56a10986d7:g:OWUAAOSwJb5ZsR~F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Heckler had a website with how to do all the heater units and dash and what to use. Not sure if it's still up and running or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
