Dash LEDS

Recommended Posts

I have just changed my dash (instrument) lights to led ones cos when I bought the car I thought all the bulbs had blown but there were no bulbs at all.

When fitting I noticed that the green strip that makes the colour for norm bulbs was also gone but that’s ok as the leds are green, after I put everything back ive been left with a very dull light from them and I assume that its because the leds are shining straight ahead and not at the dials.

Question is if I was to get some diffused leds would they work better, if not what else can I do to improve the light.

 

Cheers J

best thing to do is have the led sticking out of the holder and angled towards the dials one way to the diffuse the light is to file the tip of the led so it is slightly flat and opaque.
