Oh, here's an update on the "Stealth" indicator bulbs. On the weekend, after having them intermittantly fail for a few weeks now, I took them out and reseated all of them, you have to push them into the sockets REALLY hard, a LOT harder than the stock bulbs, a lot more than I'd usually press my thumb against glass too, but it worked and they are all seated a lot more securely now, working a treat too.

I receive the bulb today after being returned to autoillumination because the postie ripped the address off the package :o

I installed them (front 6LED) 2x4 LED at the top with festoon and the rear red brake light... they look great. Not hard to do either.

The only problem is... I lost the extension of my spanner...? Where is it - hopefully not in the engine bay... I checked twice already

I did not hear a drop so I think it is in the boot somewhere when I install the rear brake lights... I have the 15LED (red)... they are great. I had a look when I have one with LED and the other with stock... The central bit (which is 9LED, same as Pepe's) is brighter but I don't think they are eye blinding. The side 6 LED just give the confluent of the redness - did not add anymore intensity.

They look great - next thought is to whether buy the whole set - the sides and the rear reverse...
