The 12V 3mm ones are not as widely available and you might as well fit a superbright 3mm white one if you are leaving the blue insert in. It takes about 40 seconds to replace the resistor (1p each) and you can use virtually any standard 5mm Blue LED for a 'fit and forget' mod. Best of luck with you...

If you have replaced with a 3mm 12V LED no need to change the 100 ohm resistor, if you have a standard (non 12V) Blue LED then it will not last very long with the 100 ohm series resistor. I got one from VW, but I have to say it's as dim as a 'Toc H' lamp. Unfortunately the guy dealing with it is on...

cheers for the replies I've managed to get a replacement top for it so for the time being I'm gonna stick with that. Looking around I see fiamma do a turbo one with a built in fan, has anybody fitted one of these? Are they noisy? Where did you run the wires I fitted a 3 speed Omnistor to my van, bu...

Red bulb or red LED? The LED housing has a little blue insert for the main beam light and this can be pushed out, since yours is red and the insert is blue then you wont see much at all if you leave it in. Replace it with a Blue LED and change the resistor or keep to red. I thought the main beam wa...
