Hi all

Does anyone know:

1) what size bulbs are behind main dash for speedo, fuel, water temp and tacho? and how many?

2) what size bulbs are behind the centre meter cluster? and how many?

3) what size bulbs are behind the aircon unit? and how many?

4) also are they bulbs you can simply replace by popping out the bulb and putting in a new one? note: I mean popping it out of the holder and putting purely a bulb back into the old holder.

Someone has said that they are T6.5 bulbs, but the actual T5 glass bulb part can fit into a T6.5 bulb holder.

Thanks

im pretty sure the main cluster globes and the triple gauge cluster are t-5, but i modified mine to t-10

attached are picks of the globes from the climate control unit. i dont know the size but they are tiny. i modified them also to fit small LEDs in there.

it was a while ago i did this, but im pretty sure ther are six globes in total on the climate control unit. in the pic attached you have to also unscrew the section i have put a line around(it is tricky because of the hot/cold dial and the surrounding plastic) and the other thre globes are inside that section.

thanks

walkoau: any idea how many T5/T6.5 bulbs needed in the main dash? and the centre cluster?

Is it 4 for the main dash and 3 in the centre gauges?

Thanks

yep 4 in main cluster and 3 in triple gauge cluster, but i modified mine so i got 6 in my cluster.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
