X308 Dash Globes (led)
Searched the forum (and handbook) Tried googling but no definitive answer to what size the dashboard display lights are (including the clock) Are they all T5's?
Has any-one been here that has been happy with,and remember what they brought?
Heaps of posts about this topic but nothing conclusive of what to buy. Single LED or globes with multiple LED's ? Really what to do this once and get it right.
Thank You,Neil

hi there, why is it that you want to change those leds? not bright enough? i will search for electric schemes for jaguar and after that u will need to look for a good electrician guy who will read it and figure out what to plug and where
Last Jaguar? That's sad !Well they are not leds at the moment (1999) model. Clock light is out and two or so around the instruments. Yes to not bright enough especially the the speedo. Going in there soon (dash out) to fit the RealGauge and would be the perfect time to replace all the globes.
I see some have fitted leds to find too bright,bright at the ends,wrong colour etc.
Thank You for the reply. Neil

I can help on the instrument pack front. I bought the 'T10 6-LED Flat Style' in white from BI LED Australia. Was about AUD$30 for 8.
I whacked four of them in the instrument pack about three months ago.
They look like the attached.
I'd have preferred pure white to be honest, ideally with the needles in red. But I'm sure that'd involve taking whatever colour filters are in there out, and I'm not quite sure that'd be worth the heartache involved.

yes, kind of last, since jag cars are not same as before... (and being fond of X308 series)as for leds and stuff, when my turn comes it is going to be upgraded with adjustable brightness colour and etc.

Thanks for doing that for me. I appreciate it. On the posts I have read people prefer the white LED's as the dash already has a tint. So all the instrument globes are standard T10's. Too easy..must have been the X300 that had T5's maybe..Would you still have the link of where you brought them if online?

Couple of issues though:
1) They don't seem to have the white colour anymore. That wouldn't be too much of an issue - any of the other types from T10 194 168 LED Bulbs : BL LED Optronics, Light up with LEDs! and indeed a few other options on the site would work just as well.
2) On the front page on BL LED's site it talks about a relocation and not being able to process any orders. This was due to have been rectified last month, so you could always give it a go, but it may not process right now. I know there's other stores online, but I was keen to give an Aussie one my $$.
If I recall correctly, there were a number of smaller bulbs on the back of the instrument pack, but I didn't replace these. They're for lighting up the warning lights on the gauges, but I always found these to be bright enough.
