Instrument cluster lighting

[Terrano4x4]

Hi all, my cluster lights are quite dim, so I'm thinking about replacing them. Does anybody know the model/type of bulbs?, are they difficult to replace? what about leds?

Might be a dumb question. But can't you turn them up?
In the d40 you can....

in the D22 you cant, I've heard that with time bulbs get kinda black&silver and thats why they lose brightness...

Yeah they do tend to burn out.
I replaced mine the day I bought my Nav.
They are T5 in the series 1. Should be the same in yours.
I am planing to get these, not sure of red or white yet.

the dash is lit by two 3 watt t5 bulbs in the later D22's. a bit of an odd size to find. i do have an online supplier over here if you can't find any.
led's are tricky as most fire the light forward. you need ones that fire the light sideways. you may run into problems with them not being bright enough. try some let us know

looks good, are they too bright when you drive at night?

 

[Maddo71]

No they are not too bright at all. Then again the old ones were that dull a faded candle was an improvement

Does anyone know if these are the right size?
