Plus, mine isn't a T4!

It is looking really tidy and I love the blue instrument lights.

I have thought about doing this conversion too, but just put the standard, expensive Volvo bulbs in last year, so maybe next year for this.

I like the colour of your car too, as it is very rare and eye catching.

Whats annoying Gary is that since I.bought it all I.had to do is replace one tyre and it sailed through the mot!! lovin it! Came with fvsh too!

IIRC when a done this in an old Vectra i had,someone told me to lightly sand the bulbs to give a more even light instead of it shining to bright in the one spot....it worked

LOL, annoying for me, but not for you. :-)

It has truly been a bargain, Dave.

search eBay for t5 led, they are a straight swap for the bulbs, I used white leds in mine which give off a pale blue colour appearance which allows the red needles to be seen clearer. I have done all my window switches in blue to but used the blue leds for this. The hardest part of the leds in the dash is getting the cluster out itself.
