LED conversion difficulties
Written by douglasvanb on 3/29/2012 at 05:49 pm

Alfred,

That is a very strange problem. I think that we are using the same little lamps
for the instrument panel. On my instrument panel, the lamps are held in place
VERY well by the rubber boots. Fishing line sounds like a good solution to your
problem. Still... very odd. Those bulbs look identical to the ones I am using
and mine fit very well.

Cheers!

Douglas

out of their rubber sockets and fall into the dash housing. Glue wont help, both
the plastic and the rubber are not good material to have glue stuck on. I will
pull them again and bind two strands of fishing wire at either side round the
ring that these little lamps do have. I will then mark the point where the nylon
lines should be at the base after being pushed in so they will stay equally
tight at both sides and tie a small bead in the line right there. This will only
allow a little movement and not in any way the lights to fall out. Alfred
