Dim Dashboard Lights.

[tekz]

Ever since I bought my Puma the dashboard lights have been dim, dimmer than I think they should be, they seem to get dimmer and less green near the top of the dashboard.

I didn't really think about it too much until I see other people's dash's on here and they are glowing really brightly green compared to mine.

Apart from that car seems fine electrics wise.

Any thoughts on this?

Cheers,
Will

Sounds like a bulb has gone.

there are two pink bulb holders in the top of the dash your next problem is they are a weird size and you wont find them anywhere, even ring didnt have them listed in there entire catalogue, meaning ford main dealer is your only option.

you can adapt a smaller bulb into it but then it will be a little dimmer

Sounds like a good excuse to do a blue LED conversion to me...

Sounds like a plan batman. Any guides?

El Dude's the man to ask about Blue LED conversions. It looks like a right faff. So much so I'll probably see if the man himself will do mine.

He's done a guide over on that other forum (which is back up now, btw):

Not sure if there's an equivalent on here.

lol, again more faffing, might give this one a try though as I'm a sucker for cool looking lighty things ;D.
Pumapeople's currently down as it goes, will try again later, the list just gets bigger and bigger with my Puma :/

It does look epic when it's done, has to be said.
