If the car is a post-98, you'll need to do a bit more than the Haynes manual says. You gave to split the black facia from the white/grey plastic to expose the bulbs. Bit of an arse ache to do, but not too bad.

I use crazyleds on ebay, he sells kits on there with the corrent amount/type/etc. Blue has a habbit of not being the brightest colour for a dash but they ones i got from there recently arent too bad. I would say though, one of the three bulbs used in the heater section is used in the rear heated window switch. I dont recommend blue in that because it hardly lights up at all if you do. I have a blue dash with a red bulb in that switch as its much more noticable when its on.

That guy also sells blue headlight/foglight/headlight adjustment switches too (the bulbs in these cant be changed very easy, new switches are much easier) for around £15 and they really finish off a blue dash.

Help would be Great! Thanks Guys


They are abit of a pain to change but they arent hard, just abit fiddly is all. The heater control takes 3 286 push fit bulbs (maybe 4 on air con models? I dont have air con :lol: ). The MFD takes 2 509T twist fit bulbs and the clocks 2 (non rev couner) or 3 (rev counter models) 509T twist fit bulbs.
