A folder divider? And the prize for originality goes to you! Isn't that card board and a bit thick? I thought you would have used that film like tinted windows! | |

yes, so you have the LCD| then a white piece of plastic|your favorite colour plastic(i used a folder divider). Then there is some space and then the bulbs. | |

What so instead of changing the bulb just put a piece of coloured plastic behind in front of the bulbs? sounds good. | |

I used a 1K Resistor - Worked fine, but LED are not bright enough and dont cover a wide area, so i used the original Osrams and put a piece of coloured plastic just behind the white screen that is behind the LCD display, works like a bomb and is way too easy. | |

They sound like ordinary leds. 1.3 cd won't be nearly bright enought to light the mfd, your looking at 2200+ mcd. | |

They are a straight swap if you buy the ready made "plug and play" type. You can't just buy any led and hope to fit them. | |

Thats the right size, but do you have the right value resistor and Osram holders to fit them into too? | |
