Been busy today, ordered some more t4.2 wedge cob led bulbs in blue for in the AC panel above the radio and also the headlight switch (despite the differing part numbers the bulbs fit both positions) although all three bulbs sockets in the headlight switch are dead, but as the multi plug for the headlight switch itself is right there I can just solder onto the back of the new bulbs and feed them from one of those ignition lives, perfect, that or i can use some of the T5 wedges that I also ordered in blue led flavour for the Speedo and rev counter, as I've just checked what the dash bulbs are, stupidly after I already ordered the t5s and they're not the same, although look similar enough to potentially work ok.

Then while I was there with the light switch and vent out I grabbed the tin snips, made a round hole in the vent and put the boost gauge there, far better placement than down by the radio, plus the connector I mentioned with lives in it? Ideal to feed the blue back light in the gauge, the final job will be to find a suitable screw to sort the wobbly steering wheel storks out, oh, and to refit the plastic clear panel on the clocks as it just unclipped itself and fell out, plus on a side note, I swear I was able to remove the dash cluster on my p1 by just removing the steering cowl and dropping the steering wheel to the lowest position on the adjuster, not so on the t4 it seems, not enough room, access is tricky but the bulbs can be got to, just about.
