I heard they don't work. Has anyone got pictures? I've got 3 OSRAM LEDs free and need to get in the speedo area to remove my air bag light so thought I may as well while I'm in there.

But on a Corsa >C<.

Mines a Corsa >B<. Dials are completely different in design. Corsa C LEDs look wicked.

Mav, if you have white Lockwood dials with orange coloured letters/numbers then blue leds won't work as orange acts as a filter for most other colours of light.
If your dials have any other colour for the numbers etc you should be fine.

Red might work ok with the orange numbers, or maybe even ultra violet if it will pass through orange. I'll test it out.

Could you test that out for me Cobra?

UV would be amazing if it gave out as much white light as the original bulbs - if its just UV and no white light it may not light anything up, or, the UV may rear-light the entire dials - now that would be cool - but I doubt it as there so thick.
