Title: Dash bulbs?
Post by: beemerdevil on 17 July 2010, 12:31:57

Hi all - ive got a couple of illumination bulbs out on my dash - now; as standard, they appear orange; so are the bulbs clear or orange? -  and does anyone know how many bulbs are in the dash/centre console? (ie. how many bulbs would i need to replace them all?) - any help/info would be welcomed - TIA  :y :y :y

cheers zirk....so if they're clear, the 'covers' must be orange yea? - so how do you get blue bulbs to show blue? - surely putting blue bulbs in they would show green  no??  :o ::)

The Dash and Radio Display are normal bulbs, so yes you could put different Bulbs/LED's in to change colour, as far as the Climate Panel is concerned (Facelift) don't think there bulb backlit, they have a one piece Fluorescent Display with an orange diffuser from memory, not sure what the colour is without the diffuser, which you can unclipp and take off, assuming you've got about twenty spare fingers to take the thing apart in the first place.

Chris.  :y


Edit, Forgot to mention the Climate Buttons are surface mounted led's.
