Have you thought about changing the dash bulbs to LEDs?
ultraleds do some frosted LED replacements which might look really good once installed.

not thought about that
if its easy enough to get out i will just change them for normal bulbs for now as i have loads of them then think about it at a later date

That's interesting. I put one in my 'doors open' one and it worked, and I've got an exec turbo too... Damn French inconsistency
