Gu led dash lights

[patrol2.8]

mudski mine were just the globes i had to use the original holders as mine is a series 1 im not sure if there is a difference between the models

[mudski]

Yeah, mines a series 2, and from two sites I found selling series one LEDs then another listing for other GU's. I asked both the difference between the two and both didn't want to spill the beans. I found a pic of a series one globe they sold and it was the sames as mine. So I just ordered for a series one. Lets hope they fit, and work.
Getting itchy now, just waiting for my these and the McNally Boost/EGT guage to arive and my dawes from the states and them I'm set to fit it all together with the needle valve, provent and EGR plate.

Hi all,
Thought I would add to this just so you can make an informed decision.

I chose red LEDs from eBay - as stated, easy to fit but be aware that they do create dull spots as they are not multi directional. I decided to go one step further and purchased the expensive ones from bright Lights (being "multidirectional') but they still created dull spots and i reckon a little worse than the eBay ones, but can't be bothered swapping out again to compare. one of the bright light ones also failed to work, even reversing it polarity wise didn't work, which was disappointing considered their cost and postage was rather high.

Anyway, just wanted to add, as I was disappointed with the result, but i'll leave them in.. Oh and the dimmer worked on both - GU II 2001 model..

All the best..

Everyones saying blue leds, but aren't red better for night vision etc. my eyes are stuffed and my interior light is white/red, but buggered if I can see better with red.
Only installed them as someone said better for map reading,,,,, not in my case

Do you need specific tools to change the lights ?

and what's a good price for those kind of lights?

[patrol2.8]

no need for specific tools and i think i paid around 20-25 dollars for them off ebay
