Hi,

You Might need some Leds with Resistors,

idont know what it is with leds tbh,
but some can be iffy, see what the ebay chaps says,

igave up with led bulbs in the Dash clocks for this reason,
iuse bulb paint igot from halfords

[midsdaz]

Is that bulb paint any good ? Using the paint don't u find it dulls it down as well? The only other thing with the LEDs they are bigger so I've had to cut some of the surround at the back so bulbs fit better

Ive never had a problem with the bulb paint,

ijust put 2 coats on and it give out a nice ice blue glow, its not too dazling on the eyes either,

it dont come of its permanant,
