|
|
Just wondering if anyone has managed to upgrade their later climate control unit with LEDs?
These take the smaller T-1 4NW bulbs and not the T10 bulbs like the older control unit version. I bought those by mistake, like the red one in the picture.
The smaller holders can be rewired with a sub-miniature/grain of wheat normal bulb but I think these would probably be too dim.
Any ideas? |

I did mine with blue LEDs
The LEDs you need are called "neo wedge" LEDs like THESE
I think the size is T4 but I maybe wrong on that because I did mine about three years ago. |

I now am very familiar how the dash comes out...
And I know not to use red scotch locks now as they cut the smaller Jap wires in two... |

ScotchLoks should be made illegal - they are unreliable.
I only use solder joints. |

I agree, I had to solder the cut wire on the locking module and did have connection issues with a couple of scotch locks, damn things... |

So are we all agreed that the 4 x climate control bulbs are T4? |
