Car dashboard lighting

Thanks to the dashboard, the driver monitors the car's technical performance during the trip. Nowadays, the dashboard of vehicles has changed significantly due to modern electronic devices. Car interior instrument lights also apply to the lighting of the instrument panel to ensure ease of reading technical data.

When is it necessary to replace the dashboard backlight?

Many car owners replace traditional light bulbs with more modern ones to improve the quality of displaying technical indicators. It allows you to refine the car interior's appearance and enhance the displayed indicators' quality.

Some cars use traditional light bulbs, the lighting quality of which could be much better than LED backlighting. In this case, it is necessary to replace the backlight to improve the quality of the displayed indicators. Or the car owner is tired of the old lighting and plans to update it to more preferable colors.

Advantages of LED dashboard lighting

LED lighting has several advantages compared to traditional instrument panel lighting, namely:

●     Low energy consumption;

●     A long period of use;

●     Ensuring uniform illumination;

●     Little heating of the light bulbs, which does not transfer heat around;

●     Better lighting of the instrument panel;

●     Such light does not tire the driver's eyes, reducing visual strain;

●     The appearance of the dashboard changes dramatically.

LED lighting for car interior instruments provides an opportunity not only to improve the quality of instrument lighting but also to apply an individual approach to color solutions, thereby modernizing part of the car interior.

What are the best light bulbs to use for the dashboard?

Most drivers prefer LED bulbs due to their high quality and uniform illumination. LED lamps are small in size, so they can be installed anywhere on the instrument panel to illuminate the instruments and various control buttons. LEDs are easily soldered, and optimal and uniform illumination is achieved even with a small number.

LED lighting of the instrument panel can be made in two versions:

●     Separate diodes – This installation provides high-quality lighting because you use the number of light bulbs that you need; in addition, you can alternate the colors of the diodes for beauty;

●     Use an LED strip, which allows you to change the overall color scheme of the dashboard – such an installation is easier and faster, but the individuality of the design is lost, and if one light bulb fails, the entire strip will need to be replaced.

You can create single-color and combined lighting using LEDs by installing diodes of different colors. Because diodes have low power consumption, the car engine can be quickly started even when the LED lighting is turned on.

Recommendations for choosing LED light bulbs

When purchasing LED light bulbs, paying attention to their color and the degree of brightness is recommended. The backlighting of the instrument panel should be such that the meter readings are displayed. But remember that too bright lighting (especially at night) can tire the driver's eyes faster, negatively affecting driving quality.

Also, purchase diodes from the same batch because shades of the same color from different sets may vary slightly. And after the installation is complete, it can be noticeable and annoying.

A wide variety of LED backlights for the instrument panel in a car can be found on the All Automotive Accessories website, where you can choose any backlight. The entire range is of high quality.
