guys Ive got a C70 coupe 1999 and i would like to change the bulbs in the dash (speedo etc), window switches, with the possibility of later changing the bulbs to LED within the cliamte control knobs. (ive read a similar post but thats based on an 850) What i would like to know is whether these LED's that Ive just bought are correct? with these resistors: (470 Ohm) Also, I would like to 1)swap the rear number plates bulbs to white LED, 2)the brake lights and tail light bulbs to LEDs, 3) the bulbs in the door which light on (when the door opens) can you please direct me as to what type of LED bulbs I would need (what size/part no's) Thanks

u need a resistor in the wiring to the brake LED lights.. they dont consume as much power as a conventional bulb so would trick the light into coming on in the dash thinking theres a bulb out.

DMCL Thanx. do you mean that I need to solder a resistor from the bulb holder to the LED ? If so, would you know what OHM resistor i wuld need? Many thanks

guys after some research on the resistors i need..ive found them : INLINE LOAD RESISTORS ... Speak to TIM and he will help and advise on whats needed. THese resistors are needed for everybulb you replace to LED (but only for exterior NOT interior) so Sidelights, Indicator Lights, Brake and Tail lights.... not sure on Number plate lights.. hth
