A green one?

 

A very small green one? Haha

[rodgeevans]

Prob a 3mm or 5mm dome cap. Other than that not much else you can say from pic except it green

[glrnet]

A green one?

You were right by all accounts BM

Looks like an incandescent from the indicator light on the instrument cluster.

[Husky]

it is indeed a bulb not an LED, it has a silicon cap over the top of it.

Valuable input from all which I thank you for haha

It's from the rocker switch for the mirrors... Just can't seem to find it anywhere online. It has no numbers or anything on it

[flyboy]

Try a 5 or 8mm T1 in that case. (measure the width)

Still looks more like a bulb than an LED.

 

what colour do you need and what colour is it in the first place.

Perhaps take it to a Maplins and see if they have something in stock that matches

Cheers Flyboy.... It didn't even occur to me to think that this was a case with a bulb/LED.

Upon closer inspection there was a small runner case that just simply pulled off. A colour filter perhaps... So I tried it back in the switch with out it but it was still the standard amber colour, just alot brighter.

After a quick minute to realise how the the legs were wrap around, I unbent them and got the bulb out. Yes bulb! It makes sense now as there was no specific orientation for to be housed in switch, which LEDs can't do (that whole cathode/anode business)

Just a 3mm bulb in the end

I'd like to thank the members of 350z-uk throughout this endeavour x

Cheers, As I'm changing them all to white, for a more OEM look, I'm giving those clear ones ago, not sure how much they will match the hue of the white LED's but we'll see - ill post results up when they arrive

 

I'll send you 1 for Xmas haha

Tried those clear lamps from eBay, turned out to be exactly the same as OEM.

Next option was to tint them with a little blue window paint, I played around with varying amounts, couldn't get an exact match to the LED's but it certainly has improved it alot - this is the best match I could get
