instrument LED

[martraci]

some of the LED's in my heater instrument panel (the ones that light the rotary knobs) have gone on the blink. does anyone know what LED's replace them?
the following is a picture an LED

as far as i know, the lights in the backing panel arnt LED's i think they are SMALL Xenon discharge globes. i might be wrong.

XR6-VCT-2000 should be able to help you out. he's pulled apart his Dash and replaced all the lights with blue LED's

HLC is right , the lights behind the cfp controls are small globes , not LED's .

Also the 'What looks like' small red leds in the control knobs are actually just red clear lenses , the actual globes that light the cfp controls are what light up the red led looking lenses in the knobs.

If you pull the cfp off , if i can remember from memory there is 3 globes in the back of the it, 1 of those globes will be blown.

I replaced my cfp globes with blue leds (had to mod the light globe holders), and since then the red lenses in the knobs don't realy light up anymore.
Im yet to do it , but i need to buy 3x 3mm white leds and chop the heads off them and use the led tops as clear lenses for the knobs ( replace the red lenses, so they light up blue ).

If you wanted different colour cfp lights but wanted to keep the knobs lit red, then you would need something like blue cellophane behind the cfp pictures and white leds so the red lenses in the knobs still light up red . Gl .

If you just want to replace the blown globe with another globe, i wouldn't have a clue what the part number is , but if you goto ford and tell them you need a 'centre face panel' globe they'de know what you need ( the 3 globes behind the cfp are the same as each other ) .

GL , cheers .
