dashboard lights

they are dimmable just a bit, but you dont need adjusting them, they are perfect. the pic doesent show the real picture... it is just perfect.

IIRC there are 7 bulbs, order 10 of them, and you have left 3 for the aux gauges.

You can't dim LED's as much as filament bulbs in my experience of them.

Hi, sorry to jump in, but does anyone know how many bulbs are needed? Is 10 enough just for the instrument cluster?

Thanks

LEDs are dimmable, so should be ok.

I also tried SMDs, 2 sets actually, they still had noticeable lighter & darker areas so they were no good (for me anyway)

Any pics with them fitted?

Don't bother with LEDs, they don't spread the light evenly and you have dark & bright spots.

sorry mate but you are totally wrong. they just need to be SMD leds.

i had this leds in 3 cars now, they are awesome.

I dont know if they are right, they look right but a fraction of the halford price. (not that thats unusual).

Didn't know halfords sells them Thanks

Ebay ones are ****. Get the Osram units, they are OEM and about £3 each so not cheap.

I just "upgraded" mine to 1.2w (stock are 1.1) and it makes a nice difference. Don't bother with LEDs, they don't spread the light evenly and you have dark & bright spots.

I did notice that OEMs are Osram, but couldn't find them anywhere.
