Thanks for the info Tom. I was hoping the bulbs would be brighter especially for the speedo and rev counter, mine are about as dull as yours and the new Leds don't make that much of a difference. I guess I could order them up and see for my self the results.

Mine has the dash lighting replaced with LEDs but the speedo is still far too dim. Its only cos I know what the numbers are on the dial that I can tell how fast I'm going. Going to try taking it out again to see if the illumination can be improved...
I have the same problem, weak as piss can only see the large middle one HELP!

Have a peak inside the hole where the bulb fits, I found an identification lable had come unstuck and was touching the glass of the bulb, the sticker had turned brown with the heat, maybe yours is the same.

Thanks ail get that checked, finally got round to LED my courtesy lights went 5050 white love the look. Just now fitted LED side indicators and just the sidelights to add in 6000 bright white (match HIDs).

I'll get the guys at power to check the dash as its annoying the blue looks great in the car!

I changed my dials lighting yesterday. Actually thought it was going to be a bigger job than it actually was. Apart from getting my hand jammed behind the dashboard at one point it all went very well smile Definitely better than the yellowy/white manky lighting I had before...

Really wanted the bright white light but after reading some posts mentioning the fact they were so bright they were distracting, I went for the blue....plus my Cerb is blue lol. And this morning my interior bright white led's have turned up so the 3 lights will be changed this afternoon!

I really like that, good job done. How long did it take?

It actually only took about 40 mins to do. I expected longer really! Even more impressive than that though...all the electric's still work biggrin
