is it possible to change out the dash, gear selector, and glovebox lights to L.E.D.?
Is it possible to install different lights in place of the oem incandescent bulbs and if so what exact bulb size should it be. also is there any website for sizes for bolts, nuts, wiring, etc. diagrams would be great!! thanks 92jeepy

I believe so.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...Fled_prods.htm they have a cross reference thing for the bulb numbers and the led conversion. good luck! |
hey thanks! that site is great perfect it should be good. any idea on how to take the top dash off i am planning on chromming the cluster pannel and paining the dash components.
|
nah, not to sure on disassembling the while dash, i only took apart a few parts. One thing i seen that looks pretty neat is just take the bezel off that surrounds the radio, wiper and defroster buttons and vents and paint it the same color as the car. I seen it in 2 xj's personally and a 08 dakota and they all looked pretty sweet.
|
ok cool im going to try that krylon fusion plastic paint should work. il keep the grey on the top thanks!
|
let us know how that fusion paint works, i seen a commercial for it a while back and seemed a bit better than the plastic paint i used before.

Typical instrument illumination lamps seem to be #37 or #74, with #168 used for indicators. I need to compleat that reference so I can encode it into HTML.
As far as screw sizes and suchlike, I'm workin' on it! Check the Tech section of my site (link in sig,) and feel free to let me know if you have anything you'd like to add! (I know, not all of the links work at the moment. I had to move the site last October, then my MIL punched her ticket, then my wife had a new hip, then a new knee, and had her rotator cuff done six weeks ago. I'm a bit behind, as you can understand...) |

so is there #37 and #74 intermixed within the cluster pannel, gear switch, or glovebox and the dome lights in the front and rear? i am confused :lol: and what would the cross reference # be to switch to the l.e.d.'s ? if you could find that that would be amazing thanks 92 jeepy |

It's a "back-burner" project for my refit - I need to take the lamps apart and see about etching boards for LED arrays - probably use CREE or Luxeon units with beam dispersers, and have them look like they're mounted in stock lamp assemblies... |
