centre console LED upgrade

Postby Brakebuster » Sun Oct 19, 2014 10:01 pm

further to my dash LED upgrade last week i have now moved onto other lighting

this involved removal of the ski slope , under there is the fibre optic unit for the heater control illumination and the ignition switch and lighting switch , also the gear selector indicator lamp , and the cigar lighter

the hardest part of the job was the removal of the switches in the ski slope and not to break the fixing tabs etc, so gently gently it was....

the fibre optic unit takes a bayonet lamp fitting, same as the cigar lighter illumination , the gear selector illumination needs a 501 wedge lamp ,

results are great, a nice sharp light for the gear selector , and the fibre optics work much better with the white light from the LED's
