Please, Please! What Size Bulbs?

[hellmett]

Hi All,
I have the dash apart at the moment so I am going to sling some LED bulbs in to replace the stock ones!

I have searched on this forum for 2 HOURS and read loads about this but NO WHERE can I find a word about what size the bulbs are!

I know I need 5 for the dials, LIKE THESE!



What ###### size are they?

286, 501 or 509's etc.

What size bulbs are in the rest of the dash, heaters and switches etc.?

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

Please fill out this info, I beg you:-

Dials, Large bulbs =
Dials, Small bulbs =
Heater Switches =
Other switches etc. =

Can anyone link me to a place where I can get them?

I am thinking of here:-

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/warden-jp2002

But I don't know what size to get!

Thanks in advance!

Don't the bulbs pull out of them holder things? and then there will probably be numbers on them they might not tally directly to the normal ones but if you can get em they might help.

The green cover's on the dial ones are just rubber covers that pull on and off.

I dont think there is much choice in those small bulbs, ie. i think all cars are the same.

I would probably not buy leds from ebay as a mate says that they are all cheap led's that are sold on there.

Thats what my mate says and he is on an LED forum so must be right!!!!!!!!!

I have used the seller in the first post (warden-jp2002) and been impressed, all his stuff comes from hong kong so takes a little time to arrive, but if you can wait a few days i have found it ok so far, i have had interior bulbs and sidelight bulbs from him.

I have read though that LEDs aren't generally good for the dials, as the spread of light is not as good as a standard incandescent bulb so you end up with patchy illumination on the dials and dark areas or something like that. Popeye is the man to ask.

Good post.... and hope everyone contributes to this. Also it would be really useful if the same information could be put together for the 3rd Generation Surf.

Does anyone out there have any information on light bulbs. Any info would help, just make sure you list what gen surf you are referring to: I would be happy to collect it all together and then provide a comprehensive listing for everyones benefit in the forum.
