Dash bulbs

[ShawnAzzopardi]

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)

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

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.

Looks like I've got the poverty spec ones. Thanks Jack!
