Just ordered mine from FD so by the time we rupture some budgies, we should be able to turn
ourselves on and admire each others dashs....!!

Put my LEDs in last night and they are SO cool!! With the exception of the turn indicators which are a bit dim so I put the original bulbs back in for them. But the rest of the dash is just so much clearer now, I can't believe the difference!

Thanks FD, highly recommended Smile

I'd like to see what else the duck has, but every time I click his link, I cannot connect to his website. I might also be interested in these lights.

I think I got a bad lot of those turn signal bulbs. Let me see what the next lot I order looks like and I'll get you some replacements.

That's weird. It's just plain html from Microsoft FrontPage. I just went and went through all of the HTML and there's nothing in that page but basic HTML tags.

I just checked and it's not blocking freehostia, but it IS blocking fdk11.freehostia.com.

It's actually the best malware program available. Even the best sometimes make mistakes. I'm going to send them a heads' up on this.

No worries FD, I might pull one of the ones you sent over and see if it isn't just a wrong value resistor or something. Too expensive to just ship 2 bulbs over. Next time I need something else from you will do.

Cheers.

New indicator bulbs got here last week FD, just put them in (hence the extra bit of rubber left over....) and yep they are great thanks, really appreciated.

Cheers

Couldn't see any point in paying for postage for anything less than the:-

Complete Kit to Replace Every Bulb in Your Instrument Cluster with Additional Bulbs for Fuel and Temperature Gauges $55

BTW, it is brighter, but more importantly it seems to be much clearer to look at, and the green is way cool.

My 'Complete Kit' arrived today, via Frankfurt, Germany (but that's another story) and is now installed. A great improvement in light level on the dash, and +1 for the documentation that comes with the lights. Actual time to do the job was probably a bit under two hours, not counting human error Very Happy

If anyone is interested, I can provide a few pointers on things not to do when removing, dismantling and replacing the instrument cluster Embarassed
