Is this any help - LINK
This is a rear view of mine
The LEDs you need are called Neo Wedge LEDs - like THESE
I have linked to T3 size BUT it is ages since I did mine so they may be T4 or T5 - so maybe better to get some of each size.
Also - LEDs only work one way round - so if they don't illuminate then rotate them half a turn. |

I found that the bases of these standard LEDs don't allow for the thickness of the circuit boards used by Mitsubishi. They won't rotate and lock in properly.
So be prepared to remove the LEDs from their bases and use the bases that you've removed. It simply involves unwrapping the wires and then straightening them so that will go back through the holes. You'll soon get the hang of it.
My final tip is to work out which are the positive terminals on the board and mark them with a dab of nail varnish. Do the same with the bulbs once in their holders, using a battery for testing. That way you'll get them all right before you refit the panel. |
