Only way to know would be to try them out.
If you find the light is too directional, try lightly sanding the leds with some wet and dry, to disperse the light more, to make them more like globes. |

Yes technically are plug and play, but the inverse type give horrific results.

If the LEDs are SMD or the little dome type that's probably them at their very best unfortunately. If anything go for the higher output rectangle multi-angle type that are selling on ebay...the other thread on fitting them to EA - EB dashes covers them. They'er advertised as R32 Skyline kits

yea i got the dome system, i figure the problem is that the light instead of shining through the numbers is going over the top and shining onto the front... its a real pain in the a**, but its what ford was using at the time, i might look into the multi angle ones thanks

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 |
