MG TD TF 1500 - LED Dash Bulbs

I replaced the bulbs in the dash with LEDs and what a difference! No more dull yellow looking bulbs, the numbers and letters are bright white, like day time. $5.00 each from Veloce Solutions jvparlanti@gmail.com . Positive or negative ground. PJ

Question, What is the tail light bulb number for an LED and who sells them? Moss seems to only sell the dash lights. PJ

If all you want to do is to replace the tail light bulb with an led bulb, most any auto parts store sells them. They carry the same number at the incandescent version - usually 1157. However, they are usually only available in negative ground versions. However, I am planning to add positive ground versions to my line of LED tail lamps in the near future.

Does anyone make a LED marker/ Turn signal for the fronts ?

Bill, yes they do. However, as I mentioned above, the auto parts stores seem to ONLY stock negative ground versions. If you have a positive ground car, you may have to wait for my positive ground bulbs. For example:

Stuart, that site in reference to LED head lamps is very interesting. I was also thinking on going to LED head lamps to cut amp draw.

thanks

For the pilots cum indicator, look for "dual color switchback" LEDs. Available for standard cars, for the MG you need 1157 sockets. Neg gnd only. Work like a charm and no relay needed
