These are my dials so I can't fit any leds..
The red and blue ones above are what I had before the digital dash, they were regular leds in Lockwood dials.
Personally, I would use regular leds in the Corsa B, and regular leds in the Corsa C dials, but diffused in the mfd.

Well I guess thats the plan then 
Diffused in the MFD nad normal in the Dials - Im guessing thats what Kev_Corsa has?? - and Im guessing he doesnt get hot spots??
Right will read up on how to take the dials and MFD out then get up some confidence 
And I will let you know in the very near future about getting the kit - £9 yeah.

Nope, Ive just got normal 30 degree 1300 mcd in both the MFD and the dials. I didnt use the diffused ones at all.

Kev, is this your car?

See the two bright spots at the top of the mfd, they are the "hotspots" we're talking about. The only way to avoid them is to use diffused leds, or such low luminosity leds that they won't iluminate anyway.
