Do you literally pull the bulb and cable out from the back of the gadge ? Of is it screwed in or something Thanks

If I remember correct most of the instruments have a push in and turn sleeve that come out of the back of the instruments and then the bulb screws into that sleeve and then is reinserted.

Great, those links are quite old, surprised they still work. Thanks for the information.

I tried these on some of the meter lights and found 3 problems that made me swap back; warm white is not that warm, they are very brittle, and, the ones I purchased (but this might not be the case now or for others) where not dimmable - it was on or off, so did not work with the dash dimming thingey (technichal term)...

Not sure about the dinning as I never had the dimming thingy anyway. Mine have been working without issue since installed.

A note for US cars. The speedo bulb could sit too deep and stop the speedo from functioning. Just pull the mount out slightly if this happens as it did to mine.

Thanks for the note Alan. Additionally, people can purchase the short LED bulbs like these: a.co/hCJF5rk. I haven't used them so I can not comment on their brightness inside of the instruments.

For the instrumentation lighting, did you use 30mm in length or 35mm the same as your interior light please?

The instrument bulbs are E10, screw-in bulbs. I have Amazon links in the description.

I really like your extra battery gauge. Where did you end up getting that one?

I didn't replace those and I haven't taken them out yet so I don't know what kind they are.

@@JRsGarage They are E10's as well, but are a nightmare to reach. Not sure they are worth the effort.

Yea, I figured they wouldn't be worth it so I didn't even try. Thanks for the info.

The ignition bulb MUST be incandescent for the charging system to work!!

I figured as much, but couldn't keep the electrons straight in my head to figure out why. Thanks for the comment.
