That is correct. Short bulb is easier to fit and rounded tops creates a better light spread.

Seems to exist at least two sizes of these LEDs. One is supposed to buy the shortest, I think.

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The cars odometer is in kilometers. It has done 358000km which is something like 222450mi 🙂

Really impressive work, Henrik. Thanks you very much, from the USA, for this great tutorial. My only question: does that car really have 358,000 k on the odometer? Or has that panel been in multiple cars? Cheers!

Thanks! I bought them from a swedish styling shop – i dont think they ship abroad. Anyway, they’re not hard to come by, just look for NEO wedge T5. They come in a variety of colours. Blue, green, yellow, red etc. Be careful not to choose “long” bulbs – they are tricky to install and do easily break – shorter with rounded tops is what to look for.

great work, whats the website that you bought them? is there any other color ?

Henrik Emanuelsson says:

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. I used NEO wedge T5 for this repair, they come in various designs. Shorter “bulb” = spreads light better and easier to fit. Look for leds that’s as close in height as your original lights.

Hey! Great work! I’m looking to do the same on my 9-5, I want to o LED’s also. Could you tell me what bulb type I need to order for the gauge cluster?
