Chris Green Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Looking forward to the before and after photos. I bought a kit of ebay for £10.00, but they aren't very bright. Quote
Amjad Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just a warning bud, they might melt your circuit board! Fitted a few in mine and it sizzled some of the copper tracks on the back killing my dial lighting, lucky I have indiglos! Quote

Fitted a few in mine and it sizzled some of the copper tracks on the back killing my dial lighting, lucky I have indiglos! Is this the eBay kit or the individual bulbs? Mine seem to be ok, had them in for about 6 months now. Quote
Amjad Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 This was from a kit advertised as being for an EP82 I bought a while back Quote
mikey4410 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 what ones u got chris ? the copper tracks are easily fixed with tin foil and clear selo tape,had that issue on my 106 rallye few years back and its the only way to fix them ! works a treat though ! and tbh i am not expecting it to be anywhere near the same as indiglos but similar would be cool Quote
Chris Green Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I have these ones mate - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUE-LED-DASH-SPEEDO-KIT-TOYOTA-STARLET-90-99-GLANZA-/370736909613?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5651a44d2d They aren't very bright though. Quote
