          I also bought LED:s Sküll recommended and must say that I'm pretty happy with them.
          These are obviously china quality so in my case one LED did not work at all and one is much dimmer than others.

          I attached couple of bad cellphone pictures. Left is before, right is after. I hope someone finds these useful. I still haven't changed these two faulty LEDS so "After" picture isn't final

            never had a faulty led from them before... i think you know you have to turn them the right way around for them to work?

                Hi guys, sorry for jumping this thread... But could someone tell me/point me to a thread that details how to remove the cluster as I want to renew all the bulbs?

                    Red Led's

                    Hi Skull, are these still available? Can you repost a link please if they are? I've purchased 10 1.2w standard bulbs but I'm now wondering if I'll burn something out, anyone else done the standard higher wattage upgrade?

                    Cheers.

                            Remember that the trip computer boost gauge is absolute pressure, not relative and that it was calibrated to a 250 kPa MAP sensor. On that basis, 2.6 Bar = about 1.58 Bar (23 psig) boost, which is about right for a chipped car.

                                Those look quite bright, at least on those pictures. I have my dash lights turn down low. Are they still hooked up to the adjusted knob?
