instrument panel light upgrade

Post by gypo »

I remember a couple of years ago a thread on upgrading the lights/bulbs on the instrument panel to blue led's. I did mine at the time but wouldnt mind having a look at the thread again but cant find it. Anyone help please. or better still have a different way of doing it to give more illumination as mine is poo :(
Cheers

Your best bet is to replace the bulbs with LEDs from CampervanCulture.com

Brickwerks do higher output lamps. Filament lamps like the originals rather than LEDs though
