TRACIE_LOU Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 is it safe to just replace the bulbs and holder for led type bulbs and holders of ebay will this give same effect as yours (heckler) as we would love to have your conversion but kids = christmas = empty pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heater unit maybe possible, allthough I have never seen any LED & holders that small. Dash yeah, easy - 3 x T10 fitment LED's, and 2 x T5 LED fitment (one for dash, other for Ignition barrel light) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its a simple, green LED to Blue swap for the dash but much more work for the other controls ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
