Thanks for that Phil,

How did your spread with the 5mm led's turn out?

Every How To I've seen gives you the link to the bulbs and they're never there, once I've got all mine sorted I'll do a list of the types of bulb needed as weel as the link. The Mcd was one of my main worries as I don't want to end up being blinded.

Just noticed your only in Whitby too, less than 20 miles away. :thumleft:

Hi, not far at all :)

No problem with the guide, the spread on the 2 LEDs is rather crap really, some colored bulbs maybe better if you can get them.

The brightness of the buttons is spot on though, if your going blue i imagine you'll be able to get a lower MCD led as they seem to be clearer than red which is what i have.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the first ebay link posted, the seller is a douche. i bought almost 60$ worth of lights for the mr2 and my tundra, the same ones listed in the auction. wrong lights sent and he basically told me to get bent, so if you want lights like that i wouldn't recommend buying from him.

yeah i know thats why i ordered them, but they don`t fit.

the clocks are mounted on clear plastic frames, the frames have angled tabs pointing at the bulbs to carry the light (like fibre optics) these stop the leds going in.

Strange, :-k :-k

Defo same as I've got and the two extra I sold to another member also fitted fine. Was a very tight fit though on the length, if you're only a mm or 2 short just twist them in.

What you need to do....

When you take the bulb holder out...

Look inside, you should see 2 plastic black spikes sticking up

Get a small flathad in there and break these out

They don't give alot of extra clearance, about 1mm

But mine went in fine when they were out, had to give the two main middle ones abit of a push to get them in.

Be carfull you don't rip the tesco plastic bag circuit board!


Good times :) \:D/
