I'm the new owner of a Nissan Primera P10 dated 1992.

The car has a lot of issues but I will take care of her!
I'm trying to install new lamp all over the car. I've already installed new lamps in the tachimeter, and I'd like to install new lamp also in the hazard, defogger and rear fog switches. Maybe I'll consider to use the led version.

The lamp are in T3 packaging but cannot retrieve anywhere the right colors.

I've found the codes of every lamp, but no clue of the original color of each one.
Can you please report che colors that you see when illumination and indicator are on?
Maybe a photo? (illumination only + a photo indicator only)

Thank you so much!

The switches are colored by their own, so cannot understand if the condom has to be colored, or not.
For example, the tachometer has blue condom to make the light appear white, instead of yellowish. So maybe I'll switch to the led version (loosing the dimmer functionality). The blue condom has the same function also in the switches? The green light on the doors, can be replaced by 12v white led too.

Returning to the body switches th rear defogger INDICATOR, and hazard INDICATOR share the same part# 2516989905 but cannot understand what color should be.

Because cannot find a bulb replacement I'm thinking to source the led versions from aliexpress, but which color to use?

Can you help me to map them correctly?

I made my own with grain of wheat bulbs.  I don't like LED.

In the tachometer are used w5w with a blue "condom" to make they appear white, so the direct replacement is a white w5w led.

I removed the leds because the w5w obtained are poor quality and because I lost the dimming functionality. Also the led had a projection cone too narrow resulting in a poor lighting. I'll try again with a better quality leds.

Also, the green light of the windows switch, can be replaced with a 12v white led.

I'll post a picture once done

As you can see the bulbs have a blue cap to make a white light, so a led replacement will be easy. Just pay attention to the polarity

To pray open the switches it is enough to enlarge the borders while someone pulls the cables

the right polarization che be found after having noticed that the thicker wire is the positive, the thinner is the negative. Test before remount them all!

The first picture has the polarity i've detected.
The second is the same picture without the polarity.

The third is the original status with light bulbs and blue cap to make a white light.
The yellow colored led, will produce white light once powered.

About the result: it is really good but I'm not totally satisfied.
Let me explain. The 12v white leds, in realty are almost imperceptibly bluish/purple, really really really almost imperceptibly. The door lock button has a thicker white window making it appear neutral white.
I've ordered another type of 12v white led from china, and once delivered I'll test them.

Tomorrow I'll take a picture of the results once mounted in the car.

I've unmounted the front seats, removed the coating, washed and I'll remount them also tomorrow. How dirty were them! I'll take some picture for you ;)

Also, I've done some testing on the hazard, fog and defogger switches, and all the light can be replaced with a white led, because the color is produced by the internal filter in the switch.
Only the hazard switch need some extra care because one light should be lighter, otherwise the red blinking is not evident (almost stati red color). I'm testing some other solution and I'll post my final setup with the results.

P.S.
I found an auction in ebay of a spanish car wracker of an engine with the compressor bracket but cannot convince them to sell only this part :( I've called 40+ car wracker in my country but cannot sort this bracket

The old one are much brighter and are a little bit purple (view my old photos)
New new one are neutral white and less brighter.

Here you can see the new leds installed

Here you can see the much brighter white led in the defogger switch (on the left), and the new less brighter in the hazard and fog lamp switches. Maybe the photo does not make evident the difference, but the old one is disturbing when driving in the night.

The defogger indicator can be both a white or yellow (appear orange when powered on) led, because the indicator is colored internally.
The hazard, should have the illumination attenuated, in order to have the indicator brighter when blinking. Also in this case the led of both the illumination and the indicator could be red or white because the switch is internally colored.
The fog lamp indicator must be yellow (appear orange when powered on) because the indicator isn't colored internally.


In the end I'm not really satisfied with the new led, because the light is directed to the up part of the switch and is not homogeneously illuminated but it's much better.

Tomorrow I'll install them also in the central tunnel. As said the light is so bright to be disturbing during the night driving.

I was concerned by the light in the hazard coming from the right, and the blinking from the left, but if I'm not wrong I can see it's the stock behavior, so I can confirm that the second batch of leds (the black one in my previous post) are the right replacement for the bulbs. The amount of light appera to be the same and the light is neutral white.

The console leds (or lamps) uses the T3 socket. These one are ok to me: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32975075221.html

Buy the white ones and the yellow ones (appear orange when powered on, to be used in the defogger and the fog lamp indicator).

Only the hazard backlight needs to be somehow lowered in intensity, as the original that has a white cap mounted on to reduce brightness. I think could be used a much higher smd resistor in the led pcb, or used a "cap" to reduce the brightness. I'll try a solution in the next days

also, for the central console near the handbrake, I've soldered the new set of leds, and they are neutral white and more comfortable. The old ones were where a little purple and too much bright, almost disturbing during night driving.
I've used as donor the T5 white leds that are a little bigger and brighter than the ones in the T3 format. In the door lock button I had to use the smaller led taken from a donor T3 led because there was not enough space to mount it without any mods.

I'll try them in the next days and finally I'll decide if remain to use the more powerful led from T5 or switch to the smaller used in the T3 (less brighter).

As I can understand, originally the lights where barely visible, can you confirm? Can you make any photo of the central console leds to compare the results?

I'm programming to replace also the tachometer bulbs with leds, and the other backlight in the central console and everywhere there is a bulb. I'll take you updated with the results.

Thank you!

I dont have any led fitted, every switch has oem bulb and I have not replaced any switch bulb in 29 years
