pics of dashboard with leds

just took some pics so it gives an idea of how good the leds are

are u happy now hippo, thought i better take some pics for u , lol

difficult seeing it's pitch black, lol

instrument panel

just wished to share what the results were

the steering wheel was in the way a little bit as I took it from the back seat , they are brighter than they look and. very easy to see at night

here is the list of bulbs i replaced



heater controls, instrument panel, both interior bulbs , hazard switch complete . passenger glove box

these are the bulbs I bought for a 2002 td4 3 door

glove box

centre light roof

heater controls , these have 3 x leds as the 1 x led bulbs did not give a good light spread, so got the 3 x led ones instead as per link

hope this helps someone

Thanks

I was thinking of pic's of the general interior to see the brightness difference. That's probably hard so do so a description of the brightness would do. Is it 50% brighter with led's fitted? Is the white light usable or it the original yellowish light a betterer colour?

they are i would say 40% brighter and a very clean white light

noticed them mostly on the heater controls, have a better spread so can see them considerably better ,

the instrument dials arnt too bright either as I was concerned of them being over bright but they are just right

the centre light was a dirty colour, if that's makes sense , the new leds give a really nice white light

also an advantage with taking a considerable amount of less energy

can see in my boot a lot better now , along with the glove box

wish I had done it sooner , but never late than never, lol

Thanks for the photo and links, just ordered the ones for the heater controls, impressed with the results

it was the heater that i had the hardest time in seeing , i made the mistake of fitting a led with only one led and then realised it needed a spread of light and that's why I ordered the 3 led ones

easy to change as you've only got to pull off the heater dials, u do the 2 x screws and can get to the 3 x bulbs, don't have to touch the holders that are in the back

will be interesting to see what u think when you've fited them

also on the back of the dials u will see a small green piece of plastic , make sure that's nice and clean

look forward to ur results

Once I've got them fitted I'll attempt a photo mate
