Globes - cheaper alternative?

[FadeToBlack]

but like juzo said, after 8 years or so if your paying $10 globe is it really a big problem? If it is then i suggest selling your car and riding the ****ing bus to the retard factory

It's probably bit above your level of comprehension to realise you could simply buy some cheaper replacement globes in the same time it would take you to go down to holden spare parts. I've had the car for just over a year, and 4 globes have gone out.

Haha just saw your selling a vt for 9 grand.. no wonder you don't mind paying through the roof.

actually yes they r they dont have the tolerance 2 bumps n knocks like LEDs, they blow very easy, ud b very lucky 2 get a globe 2 last 8 years let alone a couple. Also LEDs use less power and generate less heat and more light so y not go LEDs?

The only advantage globes have over LEDs is that they have a better light spread where as LEDs have more of a forward projection so more LEDs r needed 2 get the same result.

If your bulbs are blowing that often it sounds like you have some other problem. They shouldn't be dying that quickly.

Nothing wrong with LEDs if they are done right (directional light and all that) but in my experience instrument bulbs last a bloody long time, so paying bit over knowing they will work and fit without hassles is fine in my book.

Thats the thing most of the time there is no problem Globes simply dont like bumps, vibrations or knocks so they blow very easy.

Also the globe in my power button next to the shifter blew.. holden spare parts guy told me I have to buy a whole new button.. I told him the globe comes out just like the others but he said "No, it may look like that, but it doesn't, you need a whole new button". Of course the globe did come straight out.. just couldn't find another one the same size..

Hes right ina way they only sell them as a whole (switch) same with rear elec window switches but ur right they do come out. The same globe that fits into ur power, hazzard, fog, dome, LPG switches r all the same but u can easily replace them with bezels.

This other 'guy' seems to know all about buying globes cheaper so why has he made a thread about it?
