Dashboard LEDs Replacement options

[cp81]

While having my speedo replaced, the three LEDs between the speedo and rev counter keep fall out. What options have others used to replace them?

Links to buy and prices would be great. Thought it best to replace them while got the dash apart...

The lamps screw in to holders that are glued to the back of the dash. while you have your speedo out it is a good idea to replace the bulb with an led one, I did all of mine this year when I did a dash refurb and it does make a big difference. If I did it again I would only replace one bulb in the rev counter with an led one as at the moment my rev counter is very bright. Next time I have the top off the dash I will try it with one bulb and one led.

I'll be doing the same job on my 95 Chimaera this winter. I measured the holes last night at 9.8 mm and will be using the following as an example replacement.

Cost around £3 and they have the other colours too. RS components sell them but they are more expensive at £5 each. The lugs are the correct size for the original connectors.




Hope this helps.
