I have hunted around the forum and found various articles about changing the interior lighting color but really can't find anything on the size of the replacement bulbs/led etc.
I know a few people on the forum have done this so can you help me out please. So I have started pulling things apart and found the following: Heater Control Unit - 2 screw/plug-in type - brown base (with green condoms on) - 14 green (soldered to pcb) - 2 orange (soldered to pcb) Hazard Warning Button - 1 screw/plug-in type - grey base Ash Tray - 1 Wedge type Ignition Surround - 1 Wedge type Lighter Socket - 1 screw/plug-in type - large grey base Door Switch (window button) - 1 green (soldered to pcb) Problem is I have no idea what size bulbs/leds I need to replace them with. Do I need resistors? I've seen a couple of references to web sites selling leds and replacement bulbs BUT Does anyone have part numbers? Thanks in advance.

Ran in to a major of problem...the tools I had were not up to the job
So I have bought myself a desoldering rework station and a soldering station....these arrived the other day. Set myself up today and have just started. Situation so far... All the soldered LEDs on the control panel go through a black plastic tower. Desoldering the single ones is ok as the black plastic tower comes away with the LED attached (just got to be careful you don't melt the black plastic tower locating pins). The other LEDs are in a multi-black plastic tower - this is proving to be more difficult. Going to get some tweezers or long nose pliers and try and desolder the LEDs and pull them through the black plastic tower. |
