Title: bulb
Post by: steveo on May 01, 2011, 03:07:47 pm

Hello
I bought a SPI-D Digital Speedometer and want to change change the gear change indicator light to an other colour.
Is this the sort of bulb I can buy from somewhere like Maplin? Also, what should I be asking for?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.
The light is a standard 5mm LED.
What color would you like?

Cheers
Cristiano

Blue would be nice.

the electric characteristics of blue LEDs are different from red LEDs' used with the SPI-D.
It is possible the LED won't be very bright when connected to the SPI-D.

If you want to try anyway, you could consider the following LED:
