Dash bulbs

[thanuttiscotsman]

hehe i got a dashload for free. i just evil'y kicked the dash off a bx 1.9d in the scrap yard 2 years ago or more and took all the bulbs!!. i think i still have a big bunch somewhere in one of me tool kits.

also i had a prob before when half my dash went out after a flickering session. turned out to be the connector not the bulbs.

Cool, thanks mate

Quite tempted to do the whole dash in blue bulbs for chav attitude

[Timmo]

hhahahaha! yeah i thoguht that too but the dash clocks are already green so chances are the blue bulbs behind would make them look a bit strange!! (hwat ever colour blue and greenmixed together would make!)
i was quite tempted to use three colours to have a 'too slow' 'about right' and 'too fast' sections lol but the bulbs tend to do more than just the speedo!

[djoptix]

yeah - any colours mixed with no forethought seem to make brown. Brown dash, hmm, no thanks

Hi,

Make sure your fingers are grease free or better still use some kitchen towel when fitting them - that way they'll last longer.

Cheers

After reading this thread I ordered those ones thursday evening, and they turned up yestersay. Top job!

its always nice when you get a quick turnaround from ebay!

Think I pay about 10p if buying less than 100 And ALWAYS do all of them in one go! the labour isn't worth it to do them one at a time, and if youve never had the dash off before get yourself a speedo cable youre bound to break it! I allways do!!

My speedo is erratic anyway - that's another job that's already on the list!
