Hello!
This is my First ever Post! Sorry if I Seem not Clued up, cos i'm not. I Have been Driving for 2 Months now and only brought my (T)99 Corsa 1.0 12v a week ago.
I'm new to modding and stuff and need some help on Changing my Standard Dash Bulbs to 5000mcp (30 degree) Ultra Bright Hyper Blue L.E.D's.
I Found a Web Page that Sells the Conversion (www.pro-vision.co.uk)
but i think i could pull it off Cheaper and Maybe Better and more to my likings (not that £10 expensive, but for 4 L.E.D's!!!:Mad
I Found the L.E.D's I need at Maplin for £1 each. But!!! I havent a Clue where to Get the Osram bulb Holders from??? (Anyone Knows please Help!)
Also i would like to try Ultra Violet L.E.D's instead of the Blue ones, but i'm unsure on how well they would light up my Standard Dials! Does anyone think it will work well enough?
Thanks for Any Info

no ultra violet wont work, u carnt see ultraviolet light so the light ur on about will be a purplish colour i wud imagine ...stick with blue neway.
Use the bulb holders already in place in ur dash.

Out of interest, do you have a dash with or without rev counter as the bulbs/holders are different sizes?
UV leds don't light much different to the regular bulbs, they will give you a nice smile and a nice clean shirt look though. But uv light isn't too good for your eyes.
If your gonna pay £1 each for a led, you'll also need the appropriate resistor and bulb holder, and maybe some heat shrink sleeving, its gonna bump up the price. I've got a few 5000mcd leds here ready fitted in holders if your interested. I've got a few 10000mcd in blue too, these are better for the heater panel etc.
