That's interesting, I was going to post the exact same question earlier but had to walk the dog!
Since having a new dash I've dis liked the toy plastic dash light surrounds!
If you get an answer Quinny I'll be getting some.
THEY LOOK CORRECT. Love it.

All post 96 facelift models have this arrangement I think, so the breakers may be your best bet.

I wouldn't want the kph speedo though.

I've got a nice new set of clocks, and I have a plan for a new dash layout.....a set of the little alloy bezelled warning lights would be the finishing touch......looked on line but can't seem to find an exact match...

Looking closer they appear to be like mine but shine more. I didn't put the lights in myself but mine look like plastic but could be brushed alley!!????!!
I think my eyes are giving up,

doh!

To me a wooden dash must have shiny bezels, mine look cool but to subtle for me!

The oem Chim ones like that are lens and bezel units retained by star washers from the rear - the illumination is by LEDS that are set in a circuit-board held in place by a threaded post bonded to the back face of the dash. Would be much easier to use individually threaded units from CBS or similar but have never seen identical appearing versions.
