I've changed the bulbs for the center console and for the temperature, clock & date console as well to blue LED lighting on my Corsa B.
It was a NIGHTMARE changing all these, but worth it, it looks amazing!!
I have the procedure if anyone's interested. Cheers

I've got a problem:
I got the bulbs into the MFD easily - and they look great but the OSRAM holders are wrong for the dash and the LEDs are too big -
- Question is: What do I need?
Pic below shows:
(1) Original MFD Bulb
(2) New LED Bulb
(3) Original Centre Consolte Bulb
This picture shows where the new LED needs to go:

You should have mailed me
The Osram ones you have will fit the dials and mfd only, and yes, the slimfit wedge type will fit the heater panel.
To amswer a few of your earlier questions, the car will run and drive perfectly without the heater panel, mfd and even the dial cluster fitted.
The dials and mfd are real easy, the heater panel is a pig to do the first time, although it gets easier with practice
The air con knob can be rmoved in the same way as the heated rear window switch, don't just pull it or you'll break the retaining clip. Put the knob to the 12 o clock position and push a small screwdriver through the hole in the base of the knob to release the clip, gently pull at the same time and it will come off.

Thanks Cobra - some very useful information there. My air con knob has a fractured clip but I've superglued it back to normal so hopefully it will work.
Heater knob and air direction knob don't fully rotate at the minute - I only hope its cos the retaining clips for the wires are off and that I haven't broken them all somehow.
