multi-function display. It is above the centre console, and displays the clock, date and temperature, as well as radio data if the original headunit is still in.

dash = if it has a rev counter you need 3 led bulbs for the dash

heater panel = 2 led bulbs

mfd = 2 led bulbs, the same ones as in the dash

If your wanting RED/GREEN/AMBER your best off fitting coloured bulbs into the original holders. BLUE Bulbs are quite dim with it being a dull colour.

Ive tried LED replacments and havent been impressed. Ive tried normal blue LED's which give bright spots and flat tipped ones that could have done with being brighter.

Also when fitting LED's you virtually loose all brightness adjustment because the LED itself regulates its own voltage and the change in voltage just gets dropped across the series resistor.

RED Bulbs;



BLUE Flat tipped LED's (Flat to spread beam better)
