Default Sapphire dash light bulbs

About 75% of mine work (don't know how many there is) and it looks a bit tired.

Does anyone know if you can get some uprated ones? As mine (even and maximum setting on the fader) are really dull and them needles don't light up very well.

As don't know what fitment/sort they are.

Answer on a postcard.

Cheers, Smit.

Just replace them with new ones. On my car the bulbs were a bit black. Replacing them gave a much brighter dash again. I think there are about 6 or 7 bulbs in the dash.

Thanks for the reply Marc.

Do you know what size/wattage they are?

Also where did you get them and how much were they?

Cheers

I had some spare clocks lying around, so just exchanged them with those. I suppose you can get new ones from Ford, but maybe also somewhere else. Just take the clocks out to have a look, it isn't that much work.

now this probably isnt much help, but ive seen somewhere on the web (fuck knows where) led dash light bulbs, ford fitment ones too, i would have thought so long as they aint cheapy ebay ones, they should outlast the car at least so a search on the web should be worthwhile, failing that like mentioned above new ones are going to make a hell of a difference anyway
