heres the link to the walk through and you can see what the neo wedge led bulbs i used look like when fitted.

i removed the old bulbs from there housing and used that to hold the bulb in place

i hope that helps and makes sense

Just out of Curiosity, which bulb type are you putting in the dash, as theres loads of differant styles available!
1,[Image: %24(KGrHqR,!hgE457YdfHuBOWz6hd7Hw~~60_12.JPG]
2,[Image: %24(KGrHqN,!g0E45ylLJYMBOS19VBLTw~~0_1.JPG]
3,[Image: %24(KGrHqJ,!hIE5ok,Psw3BOfvJEuh9!~~60_12.JPG]

I'd like to change mine to white, as im not a big lover of the blue theme, i have a road angle thats blue and red and i find it hard to read it at night!

its sort of like the bottom 2 but not sure on what sizes they are.

LEDs in white work alot better then the ones in blue as the light comes through alot better so instead of buying SMDs which are more expensive LEDs will work just as good.

sprinter2012 Personally I would avoid using anything but SMD bulbs, especially on the dashboard. Normal LED's behind the dashboard will give patchy light spread and won't look right.

I'm sure I said this earlier in the thread?

EDIT: I did!

Stoney SMD LED ones are the ones to go for, in the correct fitment, obviously. My dash currently has non-SMD LEDs and they are ok, but don't give the light output or spread of SMDs.

Confusedad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. Confusedad:

So you did! lol Great minds and all that.. :Bazza:

I'm just speaking from experience as I spent 6 months with standard LEDs fitted and hated them, light spread was uneven and I kept needing to change the smaller ones every month as they kept burning out! Had no such problems with the SMD kit I got though.
