11-08-2018, 03:49 AM #1im new here and have a 2000 is200 se, im wanting to change all my bulbs in the dash etc, can some one tell me how many of each bulb and what bulb to do the clocks, heater dials and clock, and also the heated seat switches, trc control and snow mode and also the rear fog switches and the ring around the ignition barrel, and any other bulb that can be changed with out soldering ie door switch cig lighter, can some one just tell me how many t3 and t5 i will need so i can order them, please help guys
I think I answered this over on the "other side", but you will require soldering/messing about with the door switches, cig lighter, heater unit and heated seat switches IIRC.
The dash is 3xT10 and 2xT5, they're changed as per this link
Most of the other info you should be able to find here
IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!
Modifications
Completed:
Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )
In Progress:
E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake
:biggrin:

davidjamesbattersby any one know a good supplier to buy the bulbs on there own, ie the ignition barrel bul etc
I usually just have a good ebay search. SMD LED ones are the ones to go for, in the correct fitment, obviously. My dash currently has non-SMD LEDs and they are ok, but don't give the light output or spread of SMDs. Usually the cheapest are from the far east, but it's usually worth the wait for bulbs that are often under £1 each, and identical to the ones UK suppliers sell, sometimes at many times the price! Some (like red bulbs for my rear fogs) I can only find from Hong Kong!

11-08-2018, 11:19 AM #6thanks guys i have read that the heater controls arnt the type you have to solder, is this true
I have used a set of bulbs that I got from the US but as I said the light output is really bad
You are sort of right they don't have to be done like that but to get the best light output its better if they are.
