Chris Green Posted October 22, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 22, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This was from a kit advertised as being for an EP82 I bought a while back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
