to fitting new bulbs in the heater control display. But on my new sport, one of the bulbs had gone and it was pissing me off

Used blue LED's on the old corsa, so went for red this time. Took me sod all time to change them having doen them before so here ya go:




What ya reckon?

The whole thing lights up red, just looks uniluminated in places as my phone aint captured it. What ya reckon?

Cheers.

Yeah, removed the front panel. Quite difficult to remove though if you haven't done it before. got some 286 wedge type LEDs off ebay
