Sounds good, I'm about to change mine as well actually... Search ultraleds on the cerb forum and there is a pretty good thread on there with some pics of the green dials you seek I believe. I have a Toyota purple-blue mica car and am going to change the bulbs to superbright blue led ones to go with the leven dash and bits which should look pretty cool. I'm also going to change the interior light to a superbright white led so you can actually see with it, and was thinking about some blue light bars under the footwells to light up when the doors open so I can see when the roof is off and its dark out...

The blue led would look cool on blue-ish car.

From the cerb forum post, when I replaced the dash I noted that there are 4 for the small dials and 3 for the speedo and rev counter... though there is an extra slot on the speedo for a bulb which isnt used so the rev counter draws your eye more. I plan to put 2 in the speedo though to make them all equal brightness so in this case its 4 BA9s and 4 Wedge type (same as listed on the cerb post as they are the same dials) I forget which are bayonett and which are wedge but I believe it is bayonett for the small dials. Looked on ultraleds and I think it came to around £30 for the lot.

ooh just seen that post... If you could send me a copy of that email, I'd be most grateful! Was going to check my dials before I ordered them but having the sizes in an email would make life much easier...
Nick, Andy put they are BA9s ....im gonna need to do a little more investigation...
cheers Ben

Pretty sure they are BA9's, about 9mm diameter...i need to double check as i need to get some for mine...think they might be cheaper from maplins for the 6 led bulbs....
Im thinking something like this against a brushed stainless chim dash http://ph.uncle-dave.co.uk/upload/ima
Meatball,
I have just completed the dashboard swap on my green 94 chim (magnolia trim), replacing it with the leven type, also exchanged the bulbs for Green led's looks the B
ks. Got the bulbs from ebay aceparts performance lighting.
I have photo's but not when its dark showing the green dials, but take my word for it looks the nuts, especially with blak dials. if you need any more info drop me a line.
Ps the clock is a smaller type, Clock size: BA7S, rest of dials BA9S
Also got green led's for the front side lights, probably illegal, but what the F**k.
Regards,
Steve
