    i had about 3 globes in my dash cluster and 1 in my ac cluster dead when i got my car, went to jaycar and go the globes, then just wired them into the black plastic holders, very simple to do and cost me $3 all up for all the globes

    do they have them little green covers over the top of them, just like the holden ones??

    on another note, if i cutt them green covers off all of my bulbs in my switches/cluster would it look alright??? i no it would just be white/yellow what has any one done it?

    awesome they are now blue

    you have take the switch apart, they're tiny little fu$^*ers mounted on a rubber block which just comes off
    and when you cut the power to the rear switches they turn off too
