Quick guide to changing the green bulbs to blue led's
Cost: 4.77
Difficulty 1/5
Time: 15 minutes
4 LED's needed and a screwdriver set
Before
Open out the cup holder and remove the two screws.
Remove the cup holder by pulling out then up a bit as there is a bit of plastic underneath. Extend the money change compartment thingy :tongue: And put a flat head screw driver in behind the center console face. Turn the flat head a bit to pop out the face. Do this slowly and each side a bit at a time. the top will just clip out. There are also 2 clips each side at the bottom which will come out with some carefull pulling.
Once you have the front off it will look like the photo below. The circled items are the bulbs. They look like philips screws. Remove these with a 1/4 of a turn. A small flat head will help pull them out
Once the bulbs are out just replace them with the LED's which I bought here http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=200263836414
The T4 are the ones you need. If the LED's dont work just take them out and rotate 180 degrees and put back in. Do each led one by one and test them after you fit each one Put everything back the way it came out
Summary: Happy enough. They are not perfect but alot better than before. Cheap mod. Brighter led's would be better. Heard these fade so I'll wait and see
