Just new ones - I might in the future, depending how bored or how much time I have, replace with blue or red, as they are the colours in my CD player!

Now I've broken the heated rear screen dial, it won't be too difficult doing it again - it'll break again and I'll glue it again

Top Tip: Don't have the hassle of taking the two top centre vents out - merely push them down passed where they stop so you can see the screws behind. Make sure that vent is closed and undo the screws. Therefore if you drop either of the screws, it won't go rolling around, it'll just stop and the vent 'door'!

True - I prised the top ones wider with a screw driver but the plastic started going white i.e. was about to snap. So I just gave it an almighty pull and they came apart. Next time my bulbs go, I might either replace with red or blue LED's cause that is the colour of my stereo, or a mixture of both

Where do people get their LED's from?
