there a standard dick smith job replacement, blue leds look good on the recycle and demist buttons cos ive done that already, but dont use leds for the main lighting, it wont light up properly because blue leds have a very narrow lighting angle

yeah, in my article I put a note at the bottom, telling people to sand the led lense abit to help disperse light.

sorry to drag an old thread up.....

I have searched the web and found a supplier with incandecnt and led options for climate control and instrument light in a range of colours

autolumination.com

the #74 and neo-wedge look like they will suit, can anyone confirm sizes for R33?

doubtful. The bulbs need a fair amount of wire on them to coil onto the original holder, which looks nothing like anything standard.

I thought Narva.com.au might have something, but none of their globe-holders will work either!

There's another thread somewhere on this topic too.

Today I put new grain-of-wheat globes in, with blue silcone caps from Narva. It lights up a dim blue...

I also fixed the demister and hazard button lights, which had similar rubber caps on them. My blue looks like N1GTR's picture above, whereas the blue cap on the hazard bulb makes the icon light up a nice bright white. Very similar white to the tacho/speed guages.

Damn Nissan and their special globes, globe-holders, and silicone caps! I will never get this fixed! =-///

I wonder what the current s15 and other nissan models are using these days...

Im sure they would have completely changed over to LED's but if not then maybe theres a chance they are using the same type still...does anyone know?

If you follow the link in my post, the neo wedge holders halfway down the page are complete assembly with the grain of wheat bulbs in many colours. The #74 bulbs are for the dash backlight and also available in LED

These are used in Sentra and Maxima in the USA .... so I was asking do they look the same and how is size compared to R33s before I order some.

Sorry to dredge up and old post but has anyone gotten hold of these globes, been to several stores and cant find them including dick smiths, jaycar etc. Anyone is south australia found them? The alternative of paying around 20 for a tiny globes is ridiculous

    • 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.
