I am currently searching for a decent pod that asn't been broken where it screws in and the black backing has not gone 'spotty' if you get me

Though i was onto a winner today as found a 20k miles escort Ghia in scrappy today - of course took some well needed parts, put pod in tonight so can see how it lights up

OK, it lights up perfecto, but it's so much dimmer than the ones I have seen before

looked at the part numbers on the back and they are different

I presume there is a pod with a white control unit and one with a black control unit

Anyone else found this out or are you not just as fussy as I am??

i didn't like the dimmer one, looked out of place if you get me??

 

when i took the one out my RST it was white.

 

Mine is/was too, but it's gone 'spotty' where the backlighting is, so it looks like the sky at night - which I really don't want

 

Im not as fussy as you James

Come to think about it I dont think I have ever had mine light

I assume its not something as simple as bulb strength?

I do know what you mean about the pods breaking where they are screwed in though, I recon your on the right path with non RS's.

Not like anyone will have tapped into the wire that sits just behind to feed guages.

 

what bit are u on about james? what bits white/black? My heater controlls are v bright.

 

The bit on the back where the connection is, the gubbins of the whole thing

If it don't light up - bulbs are shot - nothing more

 

Someone more fussy than me.....

 

mine are minty and biright getting the upper bit flocked
