Any change to a safety item such as a speedo could technically be a concern as there are specific design rules that apply.
You'd be very stiff to ever get done though!
Early 'sports' level VE's had red illumination which was a bit hard to read at times, they kept the red theme but changed the gauges to white as it was heaps clearer to read.

I ordered a set of the white LED's and fitted them tonight, not impressed at all so have pulled them back out.
They weren't white, and they weren't bright. I'll get some new incandescent globes tomorrow as the ones I pulled out were pretty black.

Sorry mate, did them last week - they were easy to do and look pretty good. Nowhere near as brig as the standard bulbs, but still good (ish). The big bonus is on night driving in non built up areas - softer light that seems to 'interfere' less in your peripheral vision ...Originally Posted by patrol2.8
My only want would be that they were maybe a little brighter, and that you could still use the dimmer switch for them (mine don't dim/brighten) so not sure on that one ...
big rig good point on dimmer will check and see if mine dim just did mine dim down without a problem not sure why yours wouldnt

Do I need to remove this right out? As I have unscrewed it but for the life of me can't get it out. The steering wheel is in the way. Unless I have to hold my tounge a certain way. I have the steering column lowered as far as it will go too...

Guys. The new LED globes you have are they just the globe and they fit into the little plastic socket or they the globe and socket all in one? I see you that they are listed on Ebay for GU series one only and then I see them listed for GU patrols...I fail to see what the actual difference is.
