Changed back to original as the blue is pretty poor to be honest, looks great on the speedo rev counter etc but the rest is poor poor poor, the lad down the road has brought the blue bulbs so no loss.

DONT DO THE BLUE BULB THING.........

Blue LED's Dont work with the lightswitch dimmer system! you will be getting through lightswitches like hot cakes!

i have them and have had to rewire the led'd to a switch on a constant 12v as the lightswitch supplies a reduced voltage and LED's dont seem to like it so blow the light switch up

also you cant read the dials in the day and after a while they get annoying

but at £15 a pop from scrappies you will be needing lots of light switches :y

if you wire them to a direct feed then you must fuse that feed and the light switch needs some minor modification to disable the dimming functions

also i had great trouble in getting the climate bulbs to actually work!
