Ok so having finally completed the exterior it is now time to move on to the interior.
Managed to strip my dash today. Got the speedo out as well. My plan is to change all bulbs in speedo to led, or the ones that can be done anyway, including the warning lights. Also going to be changing the bulbs in the heater control/triple gauge whilst I'm at it.
Do I use all white bulbs in the coloured filters??
So can anyone confirm if these are the right sizes:
Speedo cluster:
Illumiation L : T10/501 (x5) - these are the ones in the 5 large brown holders
Illumnation S: T5/286 (x2) - these are the ones in the 2 small blue holders
Warning Lights
Best to avoid changing these to LED's...??
1. Because a blue/or other tinted LED can make it hard to see when a warning light comes on because of the colored cells
2. Some of the lights i.e Fuel/HICAS etc can give a false reading because of the low current required to run an LED
Turn Signals: T10/501 (x2) (these are fine to be LED)
ABS: T5/286
HICAS: T5/286
Handbrake: T5/286
battery light: T10/286
High Beam: T5/286 (okay as an LED)
oil pressure: T5/286
low fuel: T10/501 (x1) - in a large dark brown holder
4WD: T5/286
Blown up Engine: T5/286
Open Door: T5/286
Other interior
Triple Gauge: T5/286 (x3)
Heater Backlight: T3 (x6)
Main Room light: 21mm Festoon, although will be using a 48smd board for this.
Map Reading: BA9s (x2)
Lighter ring : T5/286
Glove box light: T10/501
Boot: T10/501
