instrament panel lights
« on: December 13, 2015, 07:47:58 PM »
Ok guys here goes having serious problems with these lights . Looks like at some point the wrong wattage of bulb has been fitted resulting in the holders melting to a unusable condition .

Do I have to replace the gauges or is there a fix for this.

Any help would be much appreciated as not knowing what speed you are doing in the dark is quite of putting. Oh yes its a 1990 defender standard gauges.

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill

Durite do a rubber push in holder that I've used before that just splice onto the the original bulb holder wiring.  Dingbro in Stirling keeps them.  See the e-bay link below for picture and availability.  You might have to wrap ome inulating tape around to take up the pace if the green ineset ha broken away
