hey guys.
Prob have had this question ALOT but does anyone know what size globes the Center Console and Dash take in a 1997 TF magna?

Cheers

If by centre console you mean the air con controls they're T5, and dash you mean cluster they're T10.

Ahh so the cluster are T5, um nah i meant the ones where the automatic shifter is like the P R N D etc lol :)

It's a combo of T5/T10, AC controls use T5, trip meter uses T10, ciggy lighter/ashtray T5, make sure to use inverted LED's or you'll get a directed light, not an even spread. Cluster are T10 for dial backlighting, and T5 for all the other lights (ie. indicators, high beam, cruise control etc...)

ahhhh dammn sounds like you have done this before?
where abouts can you get your hands on some of these globes?
If i was to be doing the cluster dial backlighting, do you know how many globes i'd need?

Dial backlighting you'll need 4xT10 chip or inverted LED (chip are prefered as they cover a wider angle).

Best bet is ebay, Autobarn/supercheap tend to only sell Dome style T10's, these shine light directly at their target and do not spread the beam, makes bad "black spots" in your cluster lighting.
