Dashboard & Cluster led- looking for aftermarket red bulbs
I purchased and installed a cheap Hercoo led kit in my cluster. Looks alright but the kit does not include a bulb/base for the small oem bulb that illuminates the mileage box (Part number: YAW100020). Kit also does not include bulbs for climate control and clock. Any tips would be great.
These work for the clock, but I can't remember if they showed red on the D2 clock. I installed them on my D1 and there is a green film so it only made the light dimmer, not red.
i might have a few left. I'll check and see if I can test in a D2 clock.
Unfortunately I can't open that Ebay link, probably due to the frogs blocking non French websites but I bought all of mine online from China (cheap) I believe they were T5 but wouldn't swear to that. I recollect the whole lot plus spares cost around $5-$6 in total.

Abran, I remember having trouble with the clock bulb on my D2, I used ice blue bulbs but the clock turned out a sort of mucky green/blue color instead.
Abran:
The bulb you are referring to for the clock... Is it the same type and size bulb that illuminates the mileage box in the cluster? Also did you get around to testing out the red bulb in the clock on your D2?

Not sure if it's the same, it's the one I linked earlier.
I have not not tried it as my sister has my D2, but I will bench test one when I get a chance.
Here's a link to the LEDs that I used to replace my climate control bulbs, which were 100% burned out when I bought the truck. They're green, but I'm sure you can use the keywords or possibly even same seller to find red.
Also, a reminder for anyone following along - these LED's have polarity, meaning they can be physically installed the wrong way, and won't work. If this is the case, remove and rotate 180deg.
