what dash bulbs?

Post by boatdog »

hi hope this is an easy one, got a dash bulb out, speedo one, took out the bulb/holder but was wondering is it a standard bulb that comes with the plastic holder? mine fell to bits when i took it out, has it a type number, if so what is it? i dont mean the actual bit that holds the bulb in the dash just the bit you twist out. cheers in advance
dont fix it if its not broke cos after you finish it will be!

Have a look at Brickwerks' shop. I recall getting two types in as I had loads bust. I think the cheaper GSF stuff breaks too easily so worth the postage.

If you're going to buy them from JK give them a ring, they should be able to do you a more realistic rate over the phone ... well they did for me on an exhaust gasket.

Also seen LED types on ebay from time to time. On mine I soldered LEDS into place and fitted a suitable resistor, but then theres no reason why you can't ignore the old bulb fittings altogether I guess and just run a few leds where you want them, on their own circuit.
