Hey guys.

Was trying to install the lights in the AC unit.

And now i broke one of the bulbs(existing) and i think i cant use the holder anymore as well.

I recieved 3x LED's and 3 x lights that look exactly like the dash lights.

Problem was that these lil bulbs would not come out of the holders, so i broke one of the bulbs :(

This is the comparison. I don't believe these lights can fit into the holders.

What do i do???

Are there any places where i can get a replacement holder for the light?

And how am i meant to fit these lights in to the AC button bit? As they didn't come with holders, and i don't think the existing holders allow the bulb to come out.

HELPPP!!!!

Those are wedge-bulb LED's...

1) You need to unwrap the wires before you pull the bulbs out.

2) I have not found any pre-made bulbs that will work in those holders

Apart from that... I have a couple of working ones here. I changed mine to LED's, but that was self-made. It's doable.

The LED's came with their own holders so it is no real biggie.

Just that the T5 or T10 bulbs didn't and i don't know how to put these in.

From my understanding i am meant to solder these onto the metal connectors.

Mioght give it ago.

UPdate:

all fixed.

Just trimmed down the holders and the base of the replacement lights.

THen just wired them up to the factory holders and screwed them back in.

Worked a charm.

    • Cheers, It must be close enough coz I can’t even tell where u painted. Did u do the whole top of the strut tower or just a patch somewhere? 
    • Hey all. Looking for all of the carpeted trunk trim for my 95 GTST coupe. I’m having a hard time finding the pieces I need on US or Japanese sites/auctions and was hoping someone has a clean set stashed away somewhere?
    • New aerial is aerialing well....trips into Goulburn are not losing the ABC classic radio signal Also......I've been procrastinating about wheels for the MX5, the car doesn't need any more tyre, I just "want" different wheels, so I went looking for something that legally fits the new Pilot Sports +1 size 215/45 17 that I'm currently running on the 17x7 OEM wheels (stock size is 205/45 17), not a silver, and not a black, ended up with gloss bronze Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 +40 which fit without the need for rolling the guards, whilst larger than the OEM wheels they are also lighter than the OEM wheels, and at just under $1300 for the set I'm more than happy with the price I seen a set of matt black Deka's on a MX5 when I was at MX5 Mania, same wheel size, same tyre size, sat really nice, and not stretched enough to look aids, although the 215/45 17 is the smallest that you can legally fit Just need to find some good black wheel nuts to suit
    • So I decided that I wasn't happy with how I originally wrapped the loom with fleece tape. I didn't factor in the new intake manifold/plenum so it always sat a bit funny. Yep, I decided to unwrap it and redo how the wires would branch out. Added in a light twist too, here's hoping I didn't snap any 30 year old wiring because FML if I did. Took a few more photos of the shit box too, needed it for Enthusiast Insurance as they wanted photos to justify why my agreed value was above market by a fair amount.
    • if wanting reliability and that level of performance a dry sump is mandatory for circuit stuff as you'll just be filling the head with oil. easy and reliable setup with potential for more later Hypergear bolt on turbo or a g30-660 with T3 rear housing .92 external gate mod to factory exhaust manifold with 45mm waste gate plazmaman/pwr intercooler oil cooler 1200cc injectors 460 TI/walbro with upgrade relay and wiring/pwm control turbosmart fuel reg Link g4x plug in ecu with knock, oil, fuel pressure sensors, 3 port mac valve, DBW conversion Quality clutch kit- NPC is what I've used for a long time READ THE WHOLE OIL CONTROL THREAD Could do major service while there and maybe headgasket, studs and valve springs. as soon as you whack a massive turbo and short runner intake on a street car they are useless and not practical the above will be a fun and reliable 400-430hp on E85 all day with correct maintenance and mechanical sympathy.
