1996 850 Clock/Temp/Trip LED Conversion
Hey all. New to the forums, having just purchased a '96 (non-turbo) 850.
Plenty of the usual issues are present (door strap pop, broken odometer, stuck antenna, cabin light/door chime short) and I'm working to address them. This weekend I'll be fixing the odometer, and was hoping to replace the clock/temp/trip display bulbs with LEDs, but I'm at a bit of a loss. I've been through the following links a few times: https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...nt-miss-28646/ which leads to Full '95 Volvo 850 Led Conversion Walkthrough....and Some Pics Of My Car. - Cosmetic and Detailing - Volvospeed Forums which indicated some issues with LED results for the clock/temp/trip display. I also found http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic...ed-conversion/ which seems to just point to using a T5 wedge LED for clock/temp/trip but doesn't specify a configuration (tower, with lens, single focus, etc). Lastly I came across this post: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic...y-experiences/ Unfortunately, the images in the thread appear to be dead references. In short: Does anyone have a suggested LED solution for the clock/temp/trip display in a Volvo 850? Is the LED conversion for that function worth it? |
The LCD trip display is a sealed unit. The conversion walk through shows what you get when you replace the 10 or so backlighting bulbs with colored LEDs.
