Hello, I wanted to replace the bulbs for the backlight clocks in my Opel - I just have no idea which will match, maybe you have any links with these LEDs? I would like them to be blue - thank you in advance! :)

A matter of what you have TRW or VDO counters. TRW illuminate better and you can use leds corresponding to a 1.5W screw-in light bulb (with plastic) but only SMD. Ordinary light scattering too weakly. There is natural scattering in VDO. Here, it's best to buy a blue cap with a standard bulb.

The counter looks like this, unless you mean some measure of it or something. Well, I want new bulbs, because they are already old and you can hardly see it, you can hardly see anything, can you provide some links with these leds?

These should work: The biggest problem is with the backlight of the waveform display. There is a special diffusing bulb (as someone knows where I will buy it) and unfortunately it burned. I currently have a 1.5W regular one and the display has a clear bright spot in the middle. In the case of leds, the effect will be compounded.

9117175 - a milk bulb can be found after this number.

And what is the name of this bulb? 1

You type in led bulb counters in the search engine and you can find it without any problems. The best LEDs are SMD5050, they have 3 LEDs connected in parallel in their structure. It is easy to recognize because these diodes have approximately 5 x 5mm dimension 6 leads and 3 structures visible under the yellow window. This is important because in the diode there are available LEDs pretending to be smd5050 with one structure and glow under ... @ociz thank you very much. By the way, this light bulb ...

Will they be okay? And tell me how many I have to buy to illuminate the entire counter Added after 8 [minutes]: And which kind? B8 5D, B8 4D, B8 3D, R5

The original are in the Bx8.4 frame but Bx8.5 will also come. 3 pieces are going plus one milky one to light the display.

Thanks for help, I order tomorrow - I will not close the topic so far in case of problems I will write

Well, we have a problem, when I put the light bulb it goes so loosely and it doesn't shine ... Anyone any ideas?

Bend the contacts once and twice check the polarity of the bulb because it can be inserted right and wrong.

The contacts are off, and I have no idea what the polarization is about. : /
