Changing Dash Bulbs

[shoggyv6]

they are quite easy just stick over your exhisting dial's.

No there not stick ones.....there exactly the same as the ones allready in the paj...you have to remove the whole dash and take the old dial faces off,..its a bit of a fiddley job and you need a steady hand,..i think they look good though..

Sorry i whent off on a bit of a tangent about the dial faces and not the bulbs,,but when you have fat fingers like mine i was well impressed with not breaking anything...

If you cant find coloured bulbs just use nail varnish on them! You get some fanastic colours! Cupcake could even end up with a nice set of pink ones!!!!!

[cobraman]

had a go at the climate controls ones last night but didnt have the right bulbs its quite an easy job so when the bulbs arrive i will do it and take some photos

[Raider]

do you need coloured bulbs then? or just the white ones?

[Raider]

ok, tried this on my evo today. the factory fit bulb wires wire around the bulb caps. you need to unravel the wires to release the bulbs. The Halfords 286G bulbs wires are not long enough to wrap around the bulb caps and the bulbs are much larger. Are these the same as the 286 white bulbs (they didnt have any of these)? Can I use a different combination (new bulb caps with different bulbs for example?)
