Classic dash light bulbs
Bought a kit on ebay to convert the dim crappy speedo lights on my facelift classic to blue LED's but theres a problem.
I was expecting the back of the cluster to be covered in W5W/501 type bulbs (as supplied) but theres only 1. The rest are tiny little bulbs (about 12).
the kit came with 3 other small LED's which I managed to use but the lighting is patchy as theyre not wide angle bulbs. the left side (where the w5w is) is bright, then the middle/speedo is patchy and the right side of the rev counter is dark/unlit.
I've seen some nice wrx/pre facelift ones done with good results but the 00 one I have seems trickier.
Anyone know what type of bulb the smaller ones are? they do all the warning lights etc so must be pretty common.
Any help is appreciated.
