B8.5d car LED lamp

B8.5d LED dashboard bulb: clocks and switches properly illuminated again

The B8.5d bulb is a small dashboard bulb with a plastic base. It is located behind clocks, gauges and illuminated switches in the dashboard. If a dashboard bulb is broken or you want a different color, replace it with an LED version. Here you will find B8.5d LED bulbs in red, blue and white, for 12V and 24V. All bulbs are supplied in sets of 2.

What to pay attention to when choosing

• Correct size: B8.5d, B8.4d and B8.3d look similar, but the base differs. Choose the exact size of your old bulb.
• Color: if there is a colored filter in front of the bulb, the LED color will mix with it; with white you keep the color of the filter.
• Voltage: 12V for passenger cars, 24V for trucks and vans.
• Quantity: per set of 2 pieces, handy if there are multiple bulbs in the dashboard.

Does it fit in your car?

Compare the base of the old bulb with the size in the product name; the number represents the diameter of the base in millimeters. Does the LED bulb not light up after installation? Then turn it half a turn; many LED bulbs only work in one direction. Does your car show an error message after replacement, then a suitable resistor can help; for this see our LED resistors.

Need a different size? Also check the B8.3d LED dashboard bulbs, the B8.4d LED dashboard bulbs or the T5 LED bulbs.
