u need an OSRAM bulb holder... a blue LED and a 200 Ohm (i think) resistor and solder the resistor and led in series and then bend the legs so that it suitably fits in the holder.

worth the 20 from corsanut m8...saves a lot of work and has all u need.

good luck in finding osram holders!

blue led's cost like 4 quid each anyway.
if you want red then buy the bulb covers which cost 13p each and they look just as good if not better than osram bulbs.
