I got mine from the Vauxhall garage a day after getting some other parts and he just gave us three for free because he said it would actually cost them more to print the invoice than the bulbs were worth.

Greasemonkey, that looks like you only have one led lit, and another partially obscured. This is a heater panel with about 6 leds directly soldered to it..
I've got a plug and play direct replacement for the heater panel. The panel in the pic below is using just two leds..

i find the leds show up better in pics than they do in real life. also cobra i used ur leds in the heater controls, just two of them on a small bit of borad, and they kept shorting out and blowing fuses soon as they were tuned on, so now iv gone back to bulbs

Its difficult to take a decent pic of lights at night, especially blue light. They actually look better "in the flesh" than in pics.
If you had the leds on the circuit board that must have been some time ago. I used to get them from Germany and they were very expensive, I no longer use those.
Trust me, just 2 special plug and play leds in the heater panel will look like the pic above. In fact its Dave 17's dash with 2 of my leds in it.
