hi everyone I have blown 2 of the dash/speedo bulbs in the van and was wondering if anyone has fitted better/brighter ones and if so where can I get some.link if possible please.anyone used any different colours of bulb,cheers dave

Stick with the original type. Do Not Buy Chinese "pooh" off E-Bay - you may get pretty blue LED''s and the dash will look fab at night....for a month then they all fade and go out....

Stick with what was designed to fit, my dash lights are std well bright as I have to dim them slightly at night.

Having said all that, I have read about an LED kit Maplins do that come in different colours and they even work with the dimmer. Google it?

yes I seen them on a post and ordered some,cheers dave

update, the lights are still not working on the dash,cannot see any breakages on the ribbon,any ideas?is there any other way to get these to work with an external switch/wiring,cheers dave

Hi Dave, have you had a go at cleaning up the earth crowns behind the fuse box - it's next on my list as my dash light (right hand side only) started working on it's own accord after 5 months use and now it's stopped again! Next thing will be to check the current with a multimeter at different points on the ribbon.
