![]() I want to do the signals to my 740 once I order the ones for the cluster. It will be next month. I'm going to do white gauges and LED everything else except for teh lower warning lights. They are bright enough as it is. I think they are also 74.

The ambient temp gauge is a B8.5, I believe. I'll go grab my bag of them when I get home to verify. But also cot dang that looks so good! I'm gonna up my LEDs to the HP models too, but that is an expensive adventure! O_o

Edit: Yup! B8.5D-RHP is your number! Did you do your heater control panel yet? What does it look like? Final edit: I'm jealous of the working light in your headlight switch. Last edited by DarkKratoz; 01-23-2014 at 01:31 PM.. |

![]() My heater control panel is done, but it was different from the one Miguel posted. Mine is up higher in the thread. Dash switches is a no, but I'm gonna do them when I redo my dash lighting. Looks pretty easy from those pictures you dug up.

![]() From the Brickboard discussion, seems like the 94+ 940s have a different heater control bulb. We'll see in a bit when I go open it up.
Also, my order didn't go through yesterday as it was flagged for fraud. Billing address (Canada) and shipping address (USA) were different, so they flagged it immediately and made me call in to verify it. :/ New policies, they say. Oh well, bulbs are on their way again. |

Great article. The US is suffering from some young Canadian recklessly drinking, toking and drag racing so the security watch level went way up. No wonder they flagged a canadian order. I am ordering all the lights today. It looks like a dab of hot glue from a cheapo hot glue gun set would be perfect for securing anything loose.

![]() Ugh, this is so much smarter than trying to retrofit the new 9-series dash switch bulbs to LEDs:

![]() I know where I'll be tomorrow...
The only light I can't do that to is the glove box one. Same socket with integrated bulb as the dash switches and the lens is built so that the socket snaps in. Got one of the ghetto eBay 1 SMD LEDs in the existing socket now, will need to switch to a 360* LED later. Ah, sorry. |

And I won't be at Ralph's this week, running really thin on cash. HIDz and Valentinez requires a delicate wallet balance, LOLOLOL ugh... Related: my glovebox light has been unplugged since the time that my glovebox lock selfdestructed. Never got it back in, hahaha. |

![]() I've done all my gauges and clusters and dash switches and all other lights in my 1985 744 and my 92 745
Plug and play in 744, had to grab some bulb holders from a parts car for the 92 745 To replace those annoying holder/bulb combo things Overall spent about 15 bucks and an hour or so, well worth it! |

![]() I used Blue on my turn indicators, red on the rest. Looks sort of purple due to blue housing of original lighting. Great improvement. I'm now wrestling with installing LEDS through & through-turn signals don't work even w/LED flasher-suspecting bulb fail sensor? Oh, this is my '91 245se, Captain Tosspot.

![]() Nearly 10 years after this thread was started, I'm thinking about getting blue cluster lights.
What seems off-putting to me is that you can buy 10 'crappy' T10 LEDs shipped from eBay for the same price as 1 from SuperBrightLEDs. My point is, it's no longer 2012. Some manufacturers must have caught up to SuperBrightLEDs without keeping the premium price tag set in the late 2000s. Does anybody know where to get such cheap yet reliable LEDs? Edit: Gave in and bought the superbright ones. Not like I went broke. YOLO ![]() Last edited by daniels740; 11-08-2021 at 08:26 PM.. |
