FTO Dash Lights

[-Nighthawk-]

Hey,
I'm currently after 1 or 2 (preferably 2) light bulbs for the dash. This is where it lights up the heater buttons. Not sure which ones to get,
cheers

Thanks,
I know the model but there are too many variants to choose from :\ which one would I need exactly?

Also, one of my bulbs in my fog lights have gone, what wattage / model would I need to replace that?

In the process of doing a DIY to do your aircon bulbs. ETA: tues. Probably a t5 bulb, but not 100% on that without looking.

If you have a pre-facelift, depends which config you have: http://www.ftoaustralia.com/modules.php ... highlight=

okey dokey.... the aircon button bulbs are indeed a 5mm bulb - but not a wedge! You need the legs on them to wrap into the bulb holder, and couldn't find anyone in NZ that sells 5mm 12v bulbs with legs. SO, there are 2 ways you can do this that I can see:

1. Repco and Super Cheap stock this: Narva 47734. It's a complete replacement, bulb AND bulb holder that will fit the aircon button bulb holes perfectly. The light is a little on the yellow side though.

2. Buy T5 wedge LED's (and you can pick most colours). Straighten the legs out, and pull the plastic housing off the legs with a pair of pliers. Then fit the T5 LED into your old bulb holder. Remembering that led's you have to get the + and - the right way round, so test before you put it all back together again.

Me? I'm getting some nice blue T5 LED's to match the rest of the car. Full DIY will be up when they arrive.

I'd give it a go. They look the right size, but all depends on how easy that plastic housing will pull off. you want to be left with something like this (wrong size of LED of course):
