Dont suppose you know where i can contact them!

Thanks, I was thinking the dials just stuck on which is not what i want at all!

Barry, I assume you have the non rev counter dials with the tin dials in? As you said, they are side lit not back lit. If you stick Lockwood dials over the top, they will still be side lit. You "could" drill a series of small holes in the steel dials before sticking the replacements on, this might allow some light to shine through from the rear.

Yea i assumed this, but the current ones i have are tin and not back lit! I need back lit dials to use my LEDs in the dash, and i have a feeling i read on here before that the dials for my dash would not be back lit. Do they replace the current dials or stick over the top?

yeah cos the actual numbers should be transparent so the light will still pass through.

Corsa (standard model) Speedo reads 10-130 (no rev. counter) Part No - 400RR
Has anyone fitted these? And if so are they Backlit, that is, do the numbers etc light up from the light behind them?:boggle:
