Can you fit blue LEDs to a pug dashboard/centre console?

Post by shooey »

2003 Peugeot 307 SW 2.0 HDI SE 110

Just a few micellaneous questions:


1) Am I right in assuming I can still get my factory fitted CD-changer to work with my new after market CD player (it has the inputs for a CD changer).

2) Any body know where I can get blue LED blubs to replace the orange ones already in the dashboard and centre console? I got some off ebay for my astra eight+ years ago but havent spotted anybody doing them since.

It's unlikely the factory fitted CD changer will work with an after-market head unless they're the same make and use the same control protocols, or so I would have thought. Can't be sure on that though...

For blue bulbs, if the dash uses the standard R286 ones then this mob here has them but a bit on the pricey side.

They do all sorts of bulbs so a call to them might have what you want.

Blue bulbs may not be that effective as usually the dash illumination colour is done by filters in the instrument pod. On a Xantia for instance the dash lights up green but the bulbs are clear...

Yeah it was the same on my astra but if you get bulbs that are bright enough they can still shine through.
