isbjorn Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi. Well got a new defender now. feels good. So its time to start on the cosmetics. Im trying to fins somewhere I can buy the instrument panel lights logos to stick on my dashboard lights. Explanation: Usually there is a white outline around the dashboard lights (oil, diff, headlights, lights, battery and so forth. But on mine td5 its nothing. Is there anywhere I can get hold of this? And are they usually behind the glas, or mounted in front like a sticker (I assume its a sticker)? thanks (Not my dashboard on the photo, its from a older defender I found on the web) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Aren't Td5 ones supposed to be 'stealth' lights, in that they don't appear until they are lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isbjorn Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Aren't Td5 ones supposed to be 'stealth' lights, in that they don't appear until they are lit? maybe, that would explain a bit. Still like my old 200tdi dash better. But it sound a bit weird, whats the point in not showing the different lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I think it's a "Need to know" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well you don't need them until they light up, and then when they do, they're more visible due to the new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Vehicle Wiring Products sell a sheet of white-on-transparent stickers that you cut up & stick on. Costs about £1 and has loads of stuff on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM_110 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 When I started making a new dash cluster from spares, I polished the old style cluster to get some scratches out, and removed the white legends. It looks OK, and is perfectly visible. It a cheapo Td5 looky-likely thingy. I feel a bit barry now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 the info with the orange slash, is what I've used the respective lights for on my 200Tdi 110, the lights are leds instead of 1.2watt bulbs & show much better in bright daylight. the top left amber engine is Td5 engine managment fault light the lower red engine/lightining flash light is the immobiliser fault light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
