No "D" Club (22 Viewers)

I am being kicked outta the club!! I replaced mine with LED's while I was inside

 

[madragoran]

No D light when i bought it at 170,000.

I thought it was a feature... Now I'm afraid that if I hit the dash hard when cut off by a prius with an obama sticker it might turn on again. Then what would I do?

Wear an oven mitts while driving? That way you dont exert too much force on the dash.

Im actually liking the fact that a bright light doesn't shine in my eyes while driving at night (mainly). I think I will not replace that light when I go LED. Assuming I can ever get the rig out of the garage.

No D when my brother bought it 60k ago tapped on the dash when i bought it in may and wala had a D light ever since, and its not bright at all when driving at night.

The "D" is back, so I guess I have been self nominated out of the club? 120K and 2-1/2 years later....

 

[KYLandCruiser]

No D for me when I bought it at 181,000.

 

[greenbeast]

I never gave it any thought with no D light. 3 80 series and none had working light. Than I run across this thread, unbelievable. Current cruiser at 113000 and no D

D died last year at approximately 110,000 miles :-(...I finally made a club!

The "D" was dead in mine before I bought it, and for some reason rest of them except "R" quit a while ago when I did the NV4500 swapperoo... Well worth it for a 5 speed though.

i had a few of the letters go blank so I took the cluster out and changed all the bulbs and added LED lights to the selector letters. see picture

 

[Layonnn]

I have no "D" as well at 160K miles.

Thinking of getting all the bulbs in the cluster switched over to LED.

Looks VERY nice 92FJ!! I'll have to add this to my list of "I wanna's"

Acquired my 80 at 127,000 miles with no "D" . Purchased a replacement for it shortly there after and it is still in the glove box at 177,000.

Damnit, I must have hit a bump the right way recently. I'm out of the club now. It's back on and I still have the replacement bulb in the glove box. Yes, i checked to make sure I didn't replace it on a beer influenced mind night. 190,000

 

[Impreza]

Yeap, still there though slightly dimmer than the rest.

 

[kybishop]

94 FZJ 80 with 150,000 and still have my D. I just bought it a couple weeks ago so I don't know if it has ever been replaced or not. I can look through my maintenance records or check with prior owner.

 

[RouxSER]

No "D" when I bought it a few months ago. I read this post, went outside to hit the dash and boom, there it is. strange. Not too bright at all though.

 

[Montymitch]

No D for me. 194,000. I tried the 'technical tap' but to no avail. I'm with everyone that says it's just one less light to annoy me while driving.

 

[Otamiway]

Mine went out about 6month after I got it. Now at 146K

 

[96beast]

Just like others on here I was in the "no D" club until about a month ago when I banged (pretty hard) right above the speedometer and it came back!

 

[beachcomberspi]

Banging above the speedo on the dash is getting me nowhere......maybe I am destined for the hall of fame....
