B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, to save me ripping out my dash and hunting all over the place to find out what the dash bulbs are called, does anyone know. I'm really keen to upgrade them as mine are absolute balls. I've read a few articles on here about getting replacement clear perspex as well and losing the green shades in the rear (I'm obviously going for red :P)? But no one has mentioned what kind of bulbs they are. I had one out a while back but can't for the life of me remember what they look like. Any help appreciated as always. :y: Cheers Reed.

Evan G Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 do they make chrome/matt black colour dash lights? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ahh sweet I though from my hunting they would be T* or something. Cheers guys. Will sort it and post up some pics if it works. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Any idea how many you needed Shades? And did you just bung 'em straight in? You can get 10 packs pretty cheap, and the dash needs 12 I think from my manual. Edited June 22, 2011 by blzbub666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I just did the actual backlights, I left all the warning lights, blinkers etc. I think there's 6 or so in the cluster itself, and the one behind the climate control is a T5. They just go straight in the little holders like a normal bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cool as, so you don't have to do anything about the green tinge? I didnt even click about the warning lights and bought two 10 packs. :oops: Ahh all good, pretty cheap from OS. And cheers for letting me know about the T5 one. Just gotta sort out why there is no light there ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 You've gotta remove the little green caps from the inside of the cluster, but that's easy as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 curious as to whats so bad about the standard ones? the lights on my dash are super bright...never had any dramas not being able to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not worried about bright Dave. Just colour. But a few of mine are blown and its all quite dim. So I thought I'd keep the red/black theme going when I replaced them . Plus running LED dash bulbs will take less power from the engine and double my HP.

SkidzMgee Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Photos if this works! Will save me from cutting up my dash and putting guages in :P Although that clock is fair baller :P EDIT: Also does anyone know what type of lights are in the headlights of the KE70's? Don't know nor have a manual at home just yet, but might be able to snag me some good postage deals with my dash lights :) Edited June 28, 2011 by SkidzMgee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 They are a sealed beam, one whole unit unless they have been upgraded to h4's or something similar. Ill post up pics but 7shades pics pretty much tell the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
