Mk 5 Dashboard Bulbs

[A Jack]

Lads does anyone know what type of bulbs these are ?, How many will I need ? Can I fit LED lights, as I will want to change them the same time as I get the lockwood dials fitted. Cheers

T5 push in filament type in the twistlok holders. There are a couple of physically larger ones too, T10s.

This sort:

Dont Lockwood dials come with coloured back illumination already fitted

[A Jack]

Alan, I will ask the question when ordering them. Cheers

[AlanN]

Nope! your right some rely on the existing bulbs, which is interesting, now that I can see some to fit my Mondeo V6 dials
Thanks

[A Jack]

The ones I was looking at, have built in illumination, but didnt seem to suit the V6 mondeo dials
Whats the problem with fitting them over top then?
