i was wondering if anyone coul link me to a site, or lemme know where i could get bulbs to change my dash board things. ( yeah i dnt know much about cars) and also where the ac/heat controlls are, if its possible to light up the two screens that are there. i got a 96 audi a4 2.8.. thanks

 

ECS Tuning sells the lamp. The dealer also carries them, they are like 2 bucks a bulb. The ones from ECS don't have the base though, so you'll have to do a little surgery to use your old base.

Are all the lights out or just a bulb here and there?

 

well, they work. i just want to change the color from the reddish/orange to white.

 

Not going to work. The the light is determined by the cluster filters, not the bulb color.

Here is me shining a light through a cluster with the bulbs removed...

 

damn, alrite thanks for the help

 

Has anyone tried using these as replacement bulbs for the dash?

They cost $0.75 apiece at Radio Shack and draw 60mA = 720mW @ 12V. I believe the original bulbs are rated at 1.1W.

 

hmm that would require a lot of work. The bulb socket is built into the cluster as well as the wiring. The lights just twist in like a household light bulb. You would have to do a lot of rigging to get those to work. I guess you could take the old bulb apart and figure out a way to reuse the base. I just don't see a point though.

 

i noticed a4anonomyous had a different set up in his dash, ask him what he did.

 

i was looking at gauge faces but all seem to be for VDO (no stop pin for speed and tach) and i have NSI (has the stop pins)
