Evening gents,

Does anyone know where I can buy the original green triangular LEDs that TVR used for the dashboard heater panel? In the photo below the green triangular LED on the right is an original and the one on the left a replacement. As you can see the one on the left is not equiangular like the original.



The LED on the right although being the correct type also needs replacing as it has become damaged slightly during the migration old dash to new and is therefore not sitting quite right.

.....and yes I know I am sad, its the OCD sorry.

Ebay is your friend

I have no idea how to insert links, but search for item below, 8.40 for full set.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that is the very pack that the triangular LED on the far left came from, all the other LEDs were fine though.

Hi Matt, from the picture showing the LED's it looks like you now have a lovely walnut dash now, is that the case? All the best, Pete

Hi Pete,

Almost....heater panel is now in as you can see. I am very impressed with the quality of the veneer and the installer's attention to detail. It is perfect aside from the triangular LEDs, I am a fussy git so need to source the correct LEDs to achieve the perfect finish I desire.

The main dashboard is due to be installed this week. If it is anything like the quality of the heater panel I will be very pleased. I will post up some picks when I get the car back.

Hope you are feeling better sir.

Hi Matt, yes I am recovering very well thank you. If all goes well should be at the Forresters gathering on Sunday 11/3/12 with the Griff. If you are going I look forward to seeing your new 'woodwork'. All the best, Pete

I managed to get down to Maplins today after work and get two of their triangular LED bulbs.

They are equiangular and look to fit the heater panel. They are not the same as the OEM bulbs as the opacity is different, not a problem though as I have another one on order so I can get all three changed so they all match.



Happy days...... cheers gents. smile

Does the Griff have any yellow triangular LEDs? I thought it was just the chimp dash that had those?
