Title: Dashboard Lights. Anyone Upgraded?
Post by: Pagodatastic on January 09, 2023, 13:06:06

Dear SLers,
Many of you have been so helpful on my upgrading my external lights to LEDs on my SL280.
Thank you so much.
Wondered if anyone had successfully upgraded the various dashboard bulbs to LEDs or is it a waste of time?
Thank you
Best
Steve

The tech manual is pretty detailed:

Also check the search as I recall there was just recently a conversation on this.

I replaced mine and agree that it is a big improvement. But I did it because I hade the tach and speedo out for other reasons. I don’t think I’d mess with removing the instruments just to replace the lights
