Hey guys fairly new around here, I've looked around at a most of the blue led threads on here but couldn't find what i was after.

Basically i'm after somewhere in sydney that could supply and install the blue leds for the speedo, clock and aircon displays on an ef fairmont.

A few years ago i would have been happy to do it myself but at the present i'm working two jobs and have barely any spare time especially forwork on my car.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers Pat

same for melbourne ?

they look awsome

I'm sure someone on here would be willing to do it for a slab.

As for purchasing them take a look on Ebay, you'd be after 5mm size for EF/EL's. And they are plug and play, no soldering required.

Would something like that do the trick neddy? I know i wouldn't need that many, I' ve never played around with leds so it's new to me

Cheers,

Pat

Try something like this mate...

Cheap and effective, you get 10 of them so that's enough for your cluster and other things as well, pretty sure the clock is the same size.

Hope that helps. =]

thanks.

do u have to use resistors and that with these ? or do you just plug em in?

How cheap is that for 10 from Repco with out dash fitting is $29

with these ones do you need to use all those resistors and heap shrink tubing like the tutorial on here ??

or is it just plug in and it works ?

cause i want to get it done soon lol

No resistor needed. They are for 12volt and will have a diode fitted so that if you put them in and they don't work you just turn them around. (The diode is for reverse polarity protection so you won't damage them)

and you said that these need to be sanded or was that something else ?

are they as good as making your own ?

repco sell them in a box of 10 cost about $18 i think
Narva part No 47902 - blue led
you need to sand the top flat and sand the sides
so they look frosted

ok then thanks

Just to double check before i buy them.

these will do the job

I use these and I am very happy with them and as said in another post I also use other LED Globes by him in both T5 & T10.

What are you wanting to do? Do you want to do the Blue display for your dash as well as the Trip Computer and Climate Control? These are quite easy as you replace the 6 dash T5 globes with the ones I have said in the Link. If you want to change the colour of the buttons on you climate control you need to use T10 globes and change the lower 2 globes. On the Trip computer you need to change the Right side T5 globe for the side display and the buttons. To change the Orange display on the Trip computer to blue you will need to pull the unit apart, comes apart quite easy, only 4 small torx screws, and replace the orange filter with a white peice of paper and the T5 globe with Blue LED. To replace the orange display on your Climate control you will need to dimantle the Climate control, some soldering involved, which is why I haven't done mine yet, and replace the orange filter with white paper and the top T10 globe with a Blue T10 LED. The odometer display again need to be fully dimantled and the orange filter replaced with white paper and the T5 globe reolaced with a Blue T5 LED.

Hope this helps. Need more info just yell.
