  • Additional bulbs in dash

    Is it possible to drill additional holes and insert small LEDs to illuminate the dash better?

    I have tried a variety of bulbs, LED and incandescent and I can't get a decent blue colour that is not patchy.

    There appear to be a few areas of 'land' on the back of the unit that it may be possible to drill through without affecting any electrickery. Is it just a case of wiring the new bulbs in series with the existing circuit? Do they need resistors or anything?

    Yes, it's possible. What resistors you need for your LEDs depends on what LEDs you buy. A lot of suppliers sell the correct resistors with them these days.

      I've bought 10 diffused blue 3mm leds with appropriate resistors for 12v, already attached.

      I'll photograph my progress and if it works well, I'll do a little write up.

      Apparently they should be wired in parallel to enable as many leds as required.
