Mo Murphy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 My rev counter backlighting, a sad yellowy colour, does not match the rest of the instruments (TD5 green) and I'd like to rectify this and make it match. What's the best way ? Has anyone managed it ? Cheers Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I believe you can buy different coloured bulb covers for the little bulb(s). Or you could convert to LED's. MogLite colour-coded all his VDO gauges in his Ibex so it's doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Colour keying - did someone call I think I may even have some of the little slip on covers for the bulbs. Do you know what type of bulb you've got ? Take a look here on eGauges.com I think there are two covers for the small type A bulbs, and the larger type E bulbs. If I can find one I'll stick it in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 That's good news ! I have a standard landy bulb holder in there using a wedge type bulb like D or E. Is that enough info, Moglite ? Cheers Mo Edited to add that I think it's a 501 bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Mo, when i had that rev counter i had LED lamps in all my guages, and it then matched the rest (as i had green LED's) you want them?? they won't fit into my Td5 stuff, so they're just in a bag in the garage. they really make the rest of the guages look shiney and bright.
