I'm looking for a part number for the dash lights that light up the speedo/engine temp/fuel gauge on a standard 1.2 cluster. Ordered a set of white LED ones but was told AFTER I bought them and was sent the wrong ones that they're only for a GTE

the back light bulbs on all novas are the same just different amounts
Took out a Speedo bulb and it was quite larger than the ones I was sent (which were for the high beam light, hazard/turn signal light, etc)Originally Posted by millworm
yeah if you had a gull gte kit then it should have the big ones in too
Nah, this one just had the 6 little tiny ones for 8 pound
Are they 501 bulbs? The ones I'm looking for? Because the place I bought them from offered to send me some of those
Can't remember, they do lokk like them but they have a diffrent mounting
Its been a while since I've looked at a standard Nova dial set but iirc the poverty spec dials use three 501 bulbs in holders. The 4/6 dial set uses a load of the smaller 509T bulbs...?
Like this, poverty spec - the three black ones are the larger W5W/501 bulb holders used for illumination, grey ones are smaller 509T bulbs used in the warning lights:
And 4/6-dial (gte/gsi/sr etc) spec, using six or eight 509T bulbs for illumination:
Careful with LED ones though, you need ones that diffuse the light as the bulbs are located next to the dial faces, so the light shines across from the side.
