The bulb in mrs blu-scoobs clock has popped . Is it the 286/T5 bulb that is fitted? Also does the clock (not the dial part) have its own green filter or is it a green capped bulb?

Cheers

 

Has its own filter.

I tried some bright white LEDs to make it look better, they kind of go a really light green, nearly blue on colour.

Only cost me 6 quid on ebay.

 

If the bulb has gone, I'd have the instruments out and replace all bulbs. Most are W5W 5W cpaless, you'l be surprised at how blued over some are.

 

Was going to do that as a matter of course or may split the cluster and replace with red leds.

Does anyone know what the clock bulb is though Could do with knowing before I remove them so I can have the bulbs here ready

 

I'd advise against red LEDs, since the cluster has green filter fitted and simple secondary school physics will tell you that RED light CANOT pass through a GREEN filter.

You may end up disappointed with VERY dim clocks, as some have who've already done this.

 

I was very good a physics thank you and know that an LED should only give out red light, which cannot pass through a green filter

When I said I may split the cluster I meant to remove the horrid green filter, thus letting lots of lurrrvlee red light through

Anybody know what size the clock bulb is?

 

Did you have any luck with this?As i bought 6 w5w led bulbs to replace mine and now I find out only the fuel side is 5w5, the other 4 are a smaller type
