Many of us have, the speedo is a piece of piss, the heater panel is a fooking c*n*t.
And we don't get them from eGay, we get them from www.crazyleds.co.uk

imo, unless you're in desperate need to change the 2 bulbs behind the heather panel, I wouldn't bother. I only changed mine coz them 2 bulbs and the 2 behind the speedo had gone so I couldn't see how fast I was going when driving at night, NOT a good thing

Does the dimmer switch still work with the LEDs ?
I've never found a 100% answer to this, can you still dim the dash board lights if you have swopped to LED bulbs ?
Thanks

get some pics up when you get them fitted please Sean-B, i bought a set off egay and they are shockingly dim so if they are good quality i might get some, although i would prefer blue ones.

The ones I got off crazyleds.co.uk are really dim too although they said they were 'ultra bright' and 'wide angled lens' but thats crap.

the tabs were on the wrong side of the circuit board for the mfd, had to bend tabs in, push through bend back out and put a blob of soldier on

I don't have an MFD in my car. Also, I brought replacement bulbs, no soldering required. I'm guessing most of you brought different types of bulbs to me.

Mine kit from crazy leds doesn't fit my MFD.
Mine are also really dim, and you can't fit them wrong, they either work or they dont.
