What bulbs

(1/3) > >>

Sharpshooter:
Hi All, what bulbs, and how many are in the dash on my j reg disco. MK1. Cheers. :D

sulley:
I've just done a change of bulbs on the binnacle, found a bloke on EBlag who sells LED replacements.  Cost £24 (which when I got the bulbs thought was a rip off till I found them somewhere else and they were more!)

This included the leds to go under the Fog Light switch and rear window heater.

ISTR that there were 8 main lights changed and then the ones under the instrumentation (Handbrake, indicators, diff lock etc I think there are nine or twelve!!)

Sharpshooter:
Are these the small capless type, or the ones with the built in holder that you twist in??

sulley:
They are, I believe "capless".  They look a bit like the christmas tree bulbs!  They have two little wires on show and you just twist the holder out, pull the bulb out, push the LED in and then twist it back into the hole.  Think it took me about 45 mins to do the work.  Removed the cover to the binnacle, pulled it forward and started changing the bulbs out. They recommend the complete removal of the binnacle, but i couldn't work out how to remove the speedo cable :roll:

Sharpshooter:
I have done it now. I ordered 12 capless from a guy on ebay. £15 delivered in blue. Cheers for your reply's :D
