Hi Guys

The bulb has gone behind my heating controls. so was looking to change to LED's (red), is there a definitive list for what i need to change the following?

* speedo lighting
* front switch bank (fogs/computer controls)
* Heater controls
* Electric window switch
* Radio (Standard Mazda)

Cheers

The speedo clocks are coloured plastic on the backs of the faces, so you'll need to sand that off if you want to change colour ;)

Dont you own a sport? arn't they already red?
You stereo if factory head unit should be red. Green illumination was for the 'lower spec' cars
The green bulb in the rear demister and the other switch... really cant remember what it is? ... these will have to have basic led's with resisters soldered in place.

You can buy red bulbs, direct fit - better light output than LEDs in my opinion :)

changing to white in the speedo will cause a lot of light bleed around the needles too, something to bear in mind
