Just pulled em out, twisted the legs n pushed em in. To update, I replaced them with these http://cgi.ebay.com.au/10-x-Blue-LED-Da ... dZViewItem Works 11ty times better, just need to take a few mm off the top to fit in, but dash looks sweet as now. Also done in the odo and high beam. Did the trip + demist, and the AC buttons + recirc/fresh leds in the buttons which required desoldering of the old orange leds and re soldering of the new leds. Used white/clear ones to light the remainder of the AC/heater thingo. |

I've based the Globe holders on Thomson Fords pricing, and the LEDS based on http://www.ledshoponline.com/automotive_leds_wedge_bulb.htm Its here. Have fun. EDIT: Macca has uploaded the Excel chart, he didn't realise he had it saved. Mate any chance of putting part numbers on there? Cheers |

Hey I've just replaced the bulbs in my Ef and now when I plug the cluster back in can turn the car on ACC it makes a beeping nose. Any idea what I've done wrong?

count the beeps and write it down, the different number/combination of beeps means different problems.

Did you remove the air bag or fuse for a long period of time? This happened to me a while ago.
My rant post975607.html?hilit=wheel#p975607 Solution; documents.php?d=3 Simple get a bit of wire and earth the airbag memory clear pin(shown in pic) to the body of the car, exposed bolt not on paintwork. I did it and all was good had to do it 3 times though. Cant say how long it lasted because i sold the car soon after. |

Seems my links are dead from earlier. If anyone is interested PM me, I can post you 10 blue T5 leds for $20, which is what I used.

I've just skimmed through the whole thread, I may have missed it but can you change the colour in the BA's.
The missus hates the green, loves the xr6 purple. Any ideas? |
