hi guys 1 of the speedo dash lights has blown on my 51 plate elite and im going to replace all the bulbs with LED's not sure which colour yet but what i'm wanting to know is how many bulbs are there just on the speedo and MID display part and are they diff size bulbs only because i'm wanting to get all the led bulbs before i take the clocks out and does anybody know which led's are the best as i was only going to get them off ebay thanx .j

[RobG]

Instrument cluster 4 not inc. warning lights. Mid 4. The best led`s for Omegas are the ones that get chucked in the bin

[tunnie]

LED's don't work well in the Omega dash, replace with another bulb of the same type

[Proz]

Oh no .... please not the blue led's from Egay  :-/

[jay69]

Oh no .... please not the blue led's from Egay  :-/

Ignore them - they're just old and sad, like bog standard cars and hate anyone who thinks outside the box!

LED's work very well in Omega clocks, and green ones are very easy on the eye.

Of course, you can use white LED's which look crisper than boring, sad, yellowy old incandescent bulbs - and they last longer too!

Thing is, mega bright ones are too bright (well, for me anyway).
There could well be a yellow (orange?) filter in the MID that needs removing f you're gonna stick different colour bulbs/LED's in there.

We have 3 Omegas, 2 of them well over 100k and 10 years old, one of them from new, never had a dash bulb blow. So i don't see how they can last longer!  :-/

OOooOOooOO - pedantic or what?
Not being literal, but in the main, LED's will last 100 time longer than crappy bulbs.
Of course there are exceptions.

ha ha thanks for the support . yes i'm think green leds for the speedo clocks and the info screen . i'v had blue leds in my other car a calibra. but im having a change as eveybody seams to go for blue these days. so i think green is a break for the norm .and maybe later on i might change the rest of the lights to leds inc stereo , heater controls , and every switch i can find with a bulb in ha ha. but might go with a different colour and shake it up alittle ?
