LEDS for internal light switch and heater (centre console)
Hi folks,
I found a website that has some decent LEDS if anyone is wanting to change their cabin dash lights. Linky I've ordered from them and they took about 10 days to arrive in the UK. The T3 wedge for the light console, T4 tall for the heater lights. The T4 talls are a tight fit and its best to take the black plastic off the back of the heater block so you get to the circuit board direct and they need a push in to get them in but work spot on and look better than the short T3's in the heater side of things as the heater assembly internals dont block the light as much.

I had a look on Aliexpress but couldn't find tall ones that would match, colour wise to the shorter ones.

3 for the light cluster on the right (or left) of the steering wheel and 3 for the heating cluster iirc. I ordered 4 of each just in case

Haizum74 have you replaced the bulbs? the one you posted on the link where spot on, do you have any photos?
Sadly I had bought the original ones for the light and heating cluster, and where very expensive for what they are.

Put led's in my original holders.
Also used a button type, might be better if I used the OE for all 3 but can you tell which one is the button and Not OE |
