Digi Dash wiring

[muzzy]

Needing some help with a few things here.

Im putting an Astra GTE Digital dash into a Corsa (im assuming its pretty much the same as into a Nova).

The dials are very dark as in you can barely see them at all, im assuming this is because it needs new bulbs, what sort of bulbs are used in these?

Also, the Corsa had no rev counter so how do i make the rev counter on the astra dials work?


Cheers

halogen bulbs matey.

not sure about the rev counter though

The rev counter wire should be in the loom.

The bulbs are a special type, and quite expensive.

cheers, ill have a search for the rev counter wire

and i thought the bulbs would probably be expensive :(

I got new digidash bulbs off Picbits (http://www.picbits.co.uk/catalog/), they're expensive for bulbs but not too extortionate.

Edit: Too slow

[muzzy]

Not as expensive as i thought they would be.

Im probably being blind but where are the bulbs on the dials themselves, the only ones i can see is the warning light bulbs :wtf:

[Adam]

There more expensive from Vaux.
