Actually I think the best thing that came out of that whole discussion was Jim's post about clipping posts.
I put LEDs in the dash of my '83 240D which was chronically under-bright. It helped some but I'm not sure the cost was worth it. That dash pod did have a broken light pipe which assuredly wasn't helping anything. My '78 240D doesn't have a broken light pipe and does have the rheostat jumpered and while the dash lights aren't anything to write home about they're adequate. Which reminds me that before my '83 meets its fate at the crusher I need to get the dash pod and the LED bulbs out... They were expensive, and should have a long life so I intend to move them to the other car which will also give me an excuse to fix the speedo needle which is 5mph too slow. -Curt Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:39:05 -0600 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] W116 electrical gremlins Message-ID: <4ecd2fb9.4010...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Here we go with the top vs bottom reply again. In any event, is it not sort of the standard fix now to install some led's in place of the bulbs in the instrument panel to brighten it up? I have yet to do it but that was my ultimate plan.
