If you search back there is a thread listing these a couple of years ago.

It's abit if a mine field. I have gone blue with mine and the small dials are nice the larger later dails not so good. They only use one bulb and the light isn't very well distrubuted around the face.

You will also find that if TVR decided that they didn't have enough of the right fitment, they would randomly change it while building a car.

The only way to really buy the right bulbs is to take the originals out and check what's there...

Also, if you have black dials to start with, be very careful what colour leds you go for (and yes I was stupid enough not to think that one through!).

Did you fit black LEDs Ian?

[morebeanz]

Yes

Actually, anything but white is a bit of a fail on black dials, but red especially so...

Mine are white but I agree with the comment re light distribution. A decent upgrade would be to arrange 3 or 4 LEDs around the large dials. Being brighter than standard, LEDs tend to show up the uneven lighting even more - OP take note.

i got cream colour dials so hopefully white leds should improve them, thanks everyone for info, happy xmas
