Should the digital clock on the dash light up when the headlights are on? If yes, which bulb do i need to replace?

» CMF MemberIt should always be on. It is on mine.

» CMF MemberYes, the clock backlight should be on when your headlights are on as well as accessories/ignition.
The globe that needs to be replaced is behind the cluster and is held in by a brown/orange globe holder. Easy to change as all you need to do is remove the dash surround, it can be a bit tight reaching in behind the cluster though.

» CMF MemberHaha! You little LEGEND! Working perfectly now!
The LED looks MUCH better in behind there than the normal globe. Gives it a nice white/blue colour rather than orange. Thanks Jon!!!

» CMF MemberNo worries!
Mine are all LED's for the cluster including the clock, gives it a much nicer colour and look.

» CMF MemberIs the led lighting even? I tried some in mine but they were really dull, they were red ones mind you.

» CMF MemberYeah I've found mine to be pretty good. There are some on the market which just produce a spot and aren't really that good for dash lighting.
What you want is a wide angle LED which will produce an even spread of light

» CMF Memberi sorted my clock light on the weekend,
all i had handy was a UV LED so spent a few mins soldering the resistor on, clear heat shrink and mounting it in the holder, looks cool. prob half an hour work then i found bulbs, coloured silicone sleeves, bulb holders and even LED push bulbs at my local AutoPro the next day. but $20 a pair for the LED bulbs. i paid that much for 500 UV LED's and resistors so i might just do the rest of the cluster.
