further to my dash LED upgrade last week i have now moved onto other lighting

this involved removal of the ski slope , under there is the fibre optic unit for the heater control illumination and the ignition switch and lighting switch , also the gear selector indicator lamp , and the cigar lighter

the hardest part of the job was the removal of the switches in the ski slope and not to break the fixing tabs etc, so gently gently it was....

the fibre optic unit takes a bayonet lamp fitting, same as the cigar lighter illumination , the gear selector illumination needs a 501 wedge lamp ,

results are great, a nice sharp light for the gear selector , and the fibre optics work much better with the white light from the LED's

Agreed. I changed mine out a while ago. I also install 2nd fo unit from parts car. I ran light feeds to ashtrays, footwell, console and 2nd to ignition and headlight switch.
Looks great. I can see everything. I swapped some white for blue as well.

 

great idea

i bet that made things a whole lot better ,

how did you terminate the new fo ends into the existing switch backs etc

I used my dental drill and cut an acess point then glued it in place. The console, ashtray and floor lights I cut small holes and focused light and glued.
I have some fo bundles from old dental handpiece tubings that I will incorperate at a later date.
