Globes

[Spitfire]

The local Autopro here has most of the holden dash lights in OSRAM brand. If they have ever not had one they have ordered it in. Globes that i was getting from holdens for $10 i now get for $3-4

Can someone please tell me what the name of the globes are? I am looking for the same thing but dont mind doing the little bit of soldering

if you just head down to electronics shop. jaycar, dick smith etc, with the old globe they should have something i would think. just make sure its 12v and fits into the holder. I removed mine today aswell and all 7 are blown.
Contemplating to solder my own or buy from holden

Thanks - yeah im going to head down to Jaycar shortly and ask them about it.

Do you know what caused all 7 to blow? mine are exactly the same... all 7 are blown, they have been since i baught the car.

not sure but after i get the new ones sorted, im going to get out a wiring diagram and find what wire supplies the power to the globes. ill check it with a multimeter and see. i couldnt find any blow fuses either so it might be worthwhile to stick an inline fuse on that wire.. I want to get LED's in there but thats a bit more work with resistors etc..

Yeah i'm the same with the LED's - until i have some more time when karting finishes for the year i want to covert dash and everything to red LED's so im looking for a cheap/quick solution for now until that happens. Although i have almost memorised where everything is on the AC controls so i can change it at night lol.
