Do your dials look ok with reglar leds in? I know that the mfd can show "hotspots" with regular leds but we've sorted that by using diffused now.
How long ago did you get the silicone covers as I thought they were discontinued?

The LEDs are perfect for the dials, no hot-spots at all and they are a lot brighter than in the pics.
I got the covers at the end of last year.

Thats what I want to do exactly as above  - How much for all that, I dont need the Head Unit ones though as I dont have a standard head unit anymore.
All blue and no Hotspots please - the sooner I get this done the better

Yes, the dimmer control is still effective.
For the switches however, you will need to solder the leds in place. I've done mine and its a pig of a job..

You might find a few stores with old stock left, although I think they would mainly have red.

Why did they discontinue them!???
Im thinking of putting two diffussed LEDs in them holders Cobra, pointing more horizontally due to the tin dials not lighting up properly... what do you think?

The tin dials? I can't remember now but do you have the non rev counter dials? Do you have any diffused, if not, u2u me your address and I'll send you 2 for free. It will be in a few days though as I'm out of diffused at the moment.

Take the front of the dials off and you can get access to the front of the bulb holders, it might be an idea to solder the leds direct to the front of the holders without removing them.

£9.30 will get you 6 plug and play leds for the dials and mfd. The switches will need a 3mm led and resistor at £1.25 each, footwell neons of your choice.
