The led's were bought from someone on Ebay, they sold me 4 for £17. You need 2 for the MFD and I used 2 in my dials with a red cap over the centre bulb to give a nice effect as you need 3 LED's to do the full dials. | |

First of all you will need to get the light fittings themselves. Mine were boot lights from a scrapyard. I picked them up for under a fiver. Next you need to run a length of two core cable (speaker cable is good) down the passenger side A panel(down the windscreen). To do this, remove the screw cover at the top and remove the screw. This will free the top of the panel. Then pull away the rubber door seal and gently pull the panel down, this will unclip the panel so you can get behind to fit the cable. Once the cable is secure, you can refit the panel and door seal. The cable then needs to be cable tied out of sight under the glove box. There is a metal frame underneath with other wiring cable tied, I used this. | |

The vectra light was from my local Vauxhall breakers and cost me £10. See the tutorial by Rob H on how to fit them. | |

Today I have spend a few hours installing some new interior lighting. I replaced the standard boring roof fitting with a Vectra one with map lights. It is also tinted grey which looks great!! |
