Dials illumination

[rric]

I have this Nova 1.0 for a month now but i cant figure it out how to get proper illumination to the dials. I replaced all the bulbs but the light is still barely visible. Does anyone had a similar problem with the dash illumination? :o

any motor factors, halfords parts counter, or your local GM/vaux dealer

or you could try my blue neon fag lighter mod

[MattyWoo]

Arent mk2 novas like the corsa where you can dim and brighten the dash lights from a switch on the dash???

[Freak]

No

they illuminate shit with standard bulbs in.

get some blue or white leds in there and be amazed

[shanehandley]

Is it a legal requirement to illuminate your dials?

LR ones don't light up, and because its 24v I can't find the bulbs.

But leave the roof off and the car behind will light em up for you :wink:

not so much legal as sensible. If youre driving down a dark road or even a motorway you wont be able to see how fast yer going, how much fuel you have etc.

My lights went out once and it was really unnerving - amazinghow much you expect to see them in front of you!

led's will work but you need to mod the housing to make them fit - 12v ones should work, however I dunno if they arein series or paralell - never tried it so you may need resistors - aragorn or Mike will sort ya here!

White dial kit will help as will Antons fag lighter illumination. Think he just wired up 2 of them blue lights you get in halfords on stalks through his fag lighter and beamed them straight onto dash.

Look impressive and more brighter than std nova lights!

Get a digi dash!
