led bulbs in black bezel gauges

[loud430]

hi all, has anyone fitted led bulbs in the early chim gauges? if so, what were they? i know the clock has a different size bulb in but dont know what size both are?

Actually - yes - just did it myself and took a photo in my driveway late last night to send to someone else to show the difference...



...afraid I can't find a bulb for the clock but that's coming out and being replaced by the AFR gauge for the wideband lambda anyway.

I used these for the small gauges and these for the speedo and tacho...

cheers phil, i was thinking of doing mine in blue if i can find some as they would match the stereo then. i think the clocks gonna be the sticking point..looks a lot brighter in your picture!

I did try some of these in the small guages and I thought they'd be a bit dim but I might try them again and see how they come out at night.

The gauges are bright but not THAT bright that they're distracting and the difference in reality isn't as great as it looks in the photo (I think the exposure on the iPhone makes the variation in brighness look greater).

More concerning is the light bleed upwards into the windscreen without the dash top on!
