Changing globes in your instrumentation (EA-ED)

[regardedzero]

i checked all the fuses pretty much straight away, i tried the indicator connectors (they work for the indicators, but not for illuminating ) ones they didn't work so i am thinking i have killed the cluster =\ any idea on how to fix that?

i could go to my local wreckers my only problem is i dunno what to do with the odometer mines only got like 130,000k's on its clock and i highly doubt i could find one as low, so dunno if i can switch the odometers.

Try a auto elec ?

I have an EB series2, and i pulled out my cluster to have a look at replacing with coloured globes.. fair easy enough

I want the whole cluster to light up blue just like this:




This is the cluster i have:




Which globes are the illuminators on this cluster?

Ok this is from a pic i took ages ago in my old car but still applies. Ignore the bit about the globes but if you remove these screws the face will come off. Then just undo the small screws on each dial to remove the face.

You want to pull out the globes marked in that pic. To pull the face off, take out the screws with the red boxes around them.

what bout in the climate control? im sick of orange lol

[misk]

sorry but that blue on the previous page looks like ass lol
too dull!
would be better off with some of these globes, maybe a combination of white and blue?

[Mr_White_Ea]

Did the blue leds in my ea and it looked dull and too hard to read if anything mate put some white leds in so you have a bright dash.

Blue leds only go well with ef-el clusters.

do the same globes fit the backlight for the climate control? I may aswell do all of them while im at it

pretty sure they are different cause dad did my cluster the other week and said something about the climate control one being different. Also, not sure which ones they are, but pretty sure you have to get the best ones cause first we got some leds and they were too dull, then we got the more pricey ones and they light up much better.

[campbell18]

okey dokey, if you could find out the globe size off your dad that would be sweet, iv already done the cluster and shifter lights, just need to do the climate control so they all match up

cheers josh

[Joshe94]

Sorry I'm not sure which globe size it is, thats the only one we didn't change.

[SLO4LT]

the lights for ur climate control and all that "should" be the same as your dash cluster lights, t10's otherwise you might have to get t'5s size, PM me if u want me to check em out for you, ohh and Red LEDs have a longer plastic end if that helps, so it should light up a lot better

[campbell18]

i had a squiz today, turns out theres 3 miniture globes
i wouldnt have a clue what size they are, might take one to autobarn tomorrow to try and find a match

also has anyone replaced the cigarette lighter and demister globes with LED's??

[deansxr6]

yeh the ciggie lighter globe is a t5 like a mjni wedge
