Thinking of sprucing up the interior of the car a bit, just for a change and something to do.
I know some people have reported dodgey colours to use for the dash/mfd/heater console bulbs, as some don't shine through etc?!
Preference of colour order is:
White
Red
Blue
I know what type I need and how many, just don't know what colours seem to work better etc?
Cheers, Deano

I got red and blue in my stereo. I think red will look smart. But got white interior bulbs, map lights etc.
Hmmm I guess it might be trial and error.

Tht red looks spot on, although I'm assuming more than the standard amount of LEDs was used

Yours light up very well indeed compared to mine! I can barely see the km/h numbers. I bought them from ultraleds.co.uk. Can you please suggest the seller?

My blue ones arent the best, but then again i do also have black needles so its guess work with speed some times
Red show up really well from what i recall seeing in the odd thread.
They all tend to look good on the MFD's, its the dials that tend to show how good they light up
Edit: Awful spelling.
