Heater Bulbs

Bad news on the LEDs - they don't fit s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: .
The base of the bulb is not aligned with the top of the holder and it will not fit the hole s:(

s:( .
Have replaced with MrT and all main dial bulbs and now lit up like a gin palace s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

s:oops: :oops: s:oops: sorry mate

Glad you got it sorted though

Managed to change mine tonight too. The holders weren't as easy to fit as the stock holders, based on them having a lower profile.

Got there in the end though. :-) :-) :-)

Not a problem Barney s:)

s:) unless your making these on the sly s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:
Be good to get a pic from StuC to see the effect and I'll try to compare.
Standard will be on edge now s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I had in mind to take before and after pics as I thought it would be a simple fix. I'll try and get an 'after' shot tonight at a similar time for comparison.... If i remember.

So these are the wrong ones? Damn. Can't believe how quickly they came in the post either (thanks again). I'm just glad I found out now before I had the dash in pieces.

I will be keeping an eye out for an update! s:? :? s:?

they fitted mine sorry guys but then again could be an odd one as MrT insisted i would only need one bulb not two s:)

Ok dark out there s:scared: :scared: s:scared:
This is a pic of the different holders with MrT on the right as you look:

You will see the issue with the bulb base and holder alignment.

One of mine is out, need to pop to Mr T to get one.

Also, the bulb in the heated rear window switch doesn't work, does anyone know if that can be replaced ?
I did try and pry it apart but felt like I was going to break something.

Thanks
Mark
