I just paid $45 give or take for five cluster bulbs.... was planning on replacing the climate control, radio and clock bulbs next week but it will cost another $45+ for those bulbs.... Would love to save some money and upgrade to LED instead. I want green LED though, no fancy blues or reds.

Hi TRIARII, sorry for the delay but I've have been working hard on the Pajero and then the D2 dash packed up so I have had to refit the old binnacle unit. The photos of the dash weren't too successful but I took some of the A/C unit with LED's.

I've posted the A/C dash and a couple of photos of the D2 and of course, the Pajero (my baby). I'll try getting some better dash shots and post them now I've learned how to post images (many thanks to SuperSport he's a real gem ) SS makes it a lot easier than I'd imagined.

This is more a learning exercise on how to post photos on the forum so don't get too picky about the quality of the rubbish I've posted.

they look good offroadfrance! Just need ones that are green. Let me know if you can figure out where you got them.

The issue Im having when I search for LED bulbs is that i dont know what to buy.... so many bulbs out there and im not sure which ones would be compatible with my truck. Dont know which ones will fit where in my truck.

Hi TRIARII, I'll do a search on Ebay purchases and Paypal and try locate the original purchase but it's a long time back, some years ago.

I know/think they were T5's but you'd need to check that out.

Hi TRIARII,

I've done a search and I'm reasonably sure these are the ones. I bought them from Alltronix. My problem is I fitted them to 4 different cars and it's hard to remember which lamps fitted which car. I think you'll need to double check the fitment in the D2 dash to ensure these are correct. They are a huge saving on the price you were quoted.

PS they come in Blue, Green, Red and White. There may be other colours also.

Just a mental note for you. LED's are strange 'animals' as they are pole sensitive. If you fit them and they don't light up take them out and rotate them 180 degrees as many are positive/negative sensitive. Whatever you do don't refit the dash panel/binnacle, A/C head, clock or whatever until you've checked them to see whether they are lighting up and working OK otherwise you'll be kicking yourself.
