I'm thinking of trying some of the big white leds from rapid next time the bulbs go - dead cheap and run straight of 12 v and should last ages as wellas being bright enough for gauges

I have a set of 'normal' 12v LEDs in my dash and they guy at Maplins said I'd still need a protective resistor. I didn't fit any resistors and they are still working fine! Dunno why I thought I should tell you guys.....

'12v' LED's have a resistor built into them. If they didn't they would have failed very quickly, almost instantly in fact.
