Kay, i have a corsa b and the mfd when opened up originally had 2 bulbs in osram holders, i have removed them and put in 2 leds in place of them. one keeps burning out. both leds have resistors and osram holders.

what resistors are you running with them?? my not be at the correct rating?? it doesn't take much to blow a LED considering they usally run around 1.8volts...
may be worth getting a multimeter on the job... see how much current(volts) the original light were pulling... this will help you match the correct resistor for the job.
would help if i knew the volt rating of the LED's too...
