Thanks, takes 2 to 5 minutes max, just have to flip the two little caps that hide two screws at the top of the panel then undo two phillips head screws and pull the instrument panel out and unclip the three panel plugs.

That looks awesome! Where did you get the globes from? This may sound stupid, but what top panel are you referring to? Cheers.

Looks a bit light to me - darker blue would look better, IMO. Still better than plain white though.

I think its a little dark. Looks good. I had mine similar, but found the needles a bugger to see at night. So I ended up getting a Silver T-Series Fascia (The expensive alternative), and replaced the LED's which were used to turn it blue from the green with original globes. Heres a pic of the cluster at night.

yours looks good mate, mine isnt as dark as it looks in the picture, its actually nearly too bright, also if you wanted it brighter you can get 2.3 watt globes, or darker just use the 1.2watters, i used 2watt.
Cheers Marty |

Just fitted the blue tickford facia into the missus AU Ghia this morning and now the instrument cluster lights arent working.
Have double checked and all 3 plugs are plugged in fine. Any suggestions?

Its usually the globes, probly from just removing the panel and putting it back in, when the globes are a few years old they are very delicate and moving the instrument panel around seems to damage the filament, its pretty common with these small globes. you can check the globes with a multimeter, or 12 volt power them.

Sweet, cheers.
Will just get some new globes and replace the lot of them. Can you remember exactly how many globes are in the rear of the cluster? As i will try get them first then do the swap.

I think there was 7 or 8, the globes will pull out of the holders that you take out of the panel, you can usually buy them in a box of about ten, was about $8.00 cheers

That looks sweet, I'd like to do this. Maybe you could write up a little guide with pics for everyone?
