the standard colour is orange, has anyone changed this to purple or blue, if so how have you done it and where did u get the bulbs from? ive tryed several places in melb and no 1 has blue globes to replace them directly and if they do they are some stupid price, can any1 help me?
cheers

I did Blue Led conversion on my EA Ghia, pics in my gallery.

blue leds are around 5 each then u need to buy resistors for them, they are directional so u get the blue light then it fades around the edges, im not reeally after that,the trip comp and climate look good, how did u get the led to fit into the holder that is previously there 4 the bulb? why didnt u finish the rest of the cluster?

the best way is to use LED's, globes just wont be bright enough. i changed mine to red, all i did was solder the resistor on to the LED and then soldered it into the bulb holder, easy. id recommend 2 leds per bulb holder, one wasnt bright enough.

so all up how many leds did u use? did u use 2 in the trip comp and climate control along with the gear shifter lights? do u have any pics u can post?
cheers

are you talking to me or Jason(Dellboy)? i only used one but should have used 2 in each bulbholder. i can take a pic of what the bulb holder looks like with the LED in it if you want.

i was talking to you john xr6, yeah if u wouldont mind please, did u use thes trongest resitors u could buy?

John_xr6 · 05-20-2004, 03:17

i will get a pic and resister value i used for you tommorow, however the resistor value will vary depennding on which LED you use and what its voltage requirements are. have got an equastion somewhere.

i tryed blue leds tonight and they didnt work like i thought they wouldont, cant get the directional light thing happening coz its using that light dispersing plastic stuff, id like to know what leds and how many delboy is running if he would be willing to tell coz hes doesnt seem to look all that bad

John_xr6 · 05-20-2004, 03:57

all you need to do is direct the LED into the light dispersing plastic
