The MFD is very tempermental and doesn't like being taken apart. The multi pin connector on the back is very fragile. | |

quote: If you put them in the wrong way round they won't blow, they just won't work. Simply turning 180 degrees sorts it. The only time I have ever actually blown a led was when a piece of solder bridged the gap between the legs and shorted it, other than that, they are suprisingly robust. | |

David, are you saying the leds don't work or that the regular bulbs don't work too? If both don't work it will be an electrical fault rather than the leds. BTW, I got the package today, items will be with you Monday. | |

with the leds u can only twist them one way because of the way it hooks the circuit board....plus the bulbs did work before and dont work now | |

You sure you wernt puttin them in the wrong way, cos im sure with led's the current has to flow a certain way or you blow em. but with the bulbs you can put them in either way. | |

well, my display doesnt work...worked for a while...then went off....the lights behind the heater dials never worked and actually i think blew something because they keep blowing my fuse...but the ones behind the speed dials work fine after a few attempts | |

I agree the rest have been spot on, but one blew in my mfd then one doesn't work, but the rest are fine! | |

AHH!! I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.............................................................................................................................................I THINK YOU NEED NEW LIGHTS! TRY BRIGHT BULBS AND PAINT THEM WITH PIGMENT FROM HALFORDS. | |

i can see all the pins are there and that the connector block is push tightly in...the leds are definately touching the circuit boards because i took it apart when i was trying to find the problem...everything else works excepts the lights .....pissing me off | |

I suggest check whether the connector block on the rear of the MDF is not loose. | |
