Mate...

You got a better light with the Blue SMD's...

Pity they don't have them in White, as that's the Best Colour to use in the Dash!!!

I found these ones in white, but not surprisingly very expensive!!!

Mate...

I've tried Blue, Red and White LED's in the Dash...

White was easily My preferred choice, as the other colours had Negative effects on the display...

Soon I'll Post up the Pics that I took, of the Red and Blue LED's and their impact on the display...

What Pleasure??? :doh:

Apart from putting LED's in the Dash Dials...

I also put a few LED's in the 'Most Commonly Used' sections, so that I won't have to change them later on!

For some reason the Air Bag, TC and ABS lights stayed on for Me, when I fitted LED bulbs in them sections!

So I put the Standard Bulbs back in, and they were working normal again...

LED's in INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTIONS

I also suggest to use Coloured LED's for example...

GREEN: for Indicator Section
BLUE: for High Beam Section
YELLOW: For EML and 'S' Sections
RED: For Handbrake, Oil & Low Fuel Sections

NOTE: ABS, TC & Air Bag Sections didn't like the LED's in them...

Perhaps the Bulb wasn't suitable, but I did try are few in there! :think:
