For an early mini central Speedo. I ordered new globes to replace some I my old dash globes. I noticed the old ones are marked 3w and are brighter than the 2.2w replacements. Then I couldn’t find any reference in the handbook or the Worksop manual to correct wattage. What we’re originally used? What is correct? Is there any issue using 3w bulbs?

I tried LEDs in mine, found they didn't output enough light sideways to illuminate the gauges properly. So I put new 2.2s in instead. |

The 3w are just very slightly brighter so worth a try for the instruments. When I reconnected and tested the speedo I noticed the ign light seemed dim and thought something was wrong, then realized I was used to it having a 3w in there. I did find an old post here where it was recommended not to go any higher than 3w Would be interesting to see if i can feel a difference in the heat generated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
