Some time ago there was a thread about replacing the old dash bulbs with leds. Can anyone refresh my memory?

Yeah I did all mine too. It was about 2 years ago so wouldnt have a clue about sizes etc now but I can tell you it takes all off 15mins if that and well worth it.

These are the ones you want - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-Blue-LED-T10-194-168-Plate-Dashboard-Side-Light-Bulb-/140567364954?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20ba77c55a
 
Bit pricey I know but they work well.
 
You can also get them from Narva  (See figure 17)http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/wedgepremium-wedge
 
If you get stuck I can send you some.
 
Cheers,

They look a bit purple but are a hell of a lot brighter than the standard ones but at $1.69 for 10 inc post you can't go wrong.

Also come in green, red and yellow.  Mix and match for that psychedelic 70s look baby!

i put two 24cm white led strips behind my speedo, everything else i tried failed to light up the speedo enough for me to see it

I'm thinking of getting some with 5 surface mount devices to potentially get a better spread of light; something like this:

Might even get white ones and keep the factory shades in place.
