LED interior display
#1
Following on from a previous thread on changing the bulbs on the date/clock/radio display, I have done the LED conversion.

Purchased R286 LED's from fleabay (10 for £2.99 inc p&p), these are the tiny capless bulbs.
Following the excellent detailed "how to" posted previously (THANKS, LEMSWORLD!) fitting was a breeze.
The only problem after fitting is that LED's tend to have a focussed light, so had the idea of a little white touch-up paint on the end of the bulb. (No problem, as these bulbs don't get hot like conventional bulbs.) This didn't dim the light, just stopped it making 3 distinct patches of light.
Perfect!
Nice spread of light behind the display, even in bright sunlight. (See picture.)
Cheap, quick, easy fix that should last for years.[Image: n54qiq.jpg]
