Tips for Baleno

[mrayyazee]

for some lights, issue can be individual bulbs

[sameerulhaq064]

Well, I had them changed but some of them start working sometimes.

[mrayyazee]

well then you need to clean the holder points and that place where the holder rest on the meter with sand paper but do it wirh extra care, may be this will solve your problem

anyone changed meter light color e.g from Green to red or so?

[mrayyazee]

i have changed from Green to White....

[abid110]

wow..how does it look? do you have a pic. and costs involved?

[mrayyazee]

will share it as yesterday my SpeedoMeter lights stopped working, seems a Fuse issue

Cost if you bought from local Market,

2 * T10 Bulb-- cost vary from 50 to 200 per bulb
5 or 6 T5 bulb -- cost 30 each bulb

But i will recommend you to shop from AliExpress your total cost will be not more than 120 to 150 Rs for all bulbs

I have done it myself, so no labor cost

Baleno Meter Lights Changing to Red Ones ( D.I.Y)

why you need to change the cluster light color..it follows whole scheme on interior light including power window/AC controls/Clock and others...

r u finding it difficult to read the cluster? if so then you need to clean the carbon inside cluster/ there main body is made of white plastic and with time it almost turns to black...open the cluster...give it a good wash...check if any bulb is blown...see the green rubber condition... fit it all back and thats all...

from junk yard you can find a JDM cluster...i find its quality better than ones we have...also more legible...cost around 1200-1500

LED bulbs make the lights uneven besides hurting eyes...not my taste...maybe not an issue for others...

my other car has optitron meter..and it has brightness control to safeguard eyes from LED brightness also the cluster cover is shaded black to reduce LED brightless, how do u intend to compensate for that in baleno cluster with LED?

P.S. original bulbs have life span around 10 years....these LEDs give away in months...even weeks..you will be pening cluster again n again

[abid110]

everything you write makes absolute sense!

actually i own a Liana and previously had a Cultus efi - both have red illumination by default and i personally love it. so just want this change for this matter only. 'shoq' only

[mrayyazee]

That look nice ...

[sameerulhaq064]

Well, I'll be doing something like changing the whole colour scheme of the speedometer as the original green colour looks a bit outdated. I will do it next month if I get the time and will share the results here.

[abid110]

do keep us posted Sameer.. best is along with step by step pics..

[abid110]

bro, if we get hold of illuminating/glowing stickers and paste on speedometer/rpm needles, is it possible to do it? can we reach the needles?

[sameerulhaq064]

Ok, will post pics In Sha Allah.

[abid110]

they are approx 24 small bulbs as i can count right? so all these bulbs can be changed to other color bulbs?
