I found this while surfing for some blue LED bulbs for the speedo. I think they should fit standard to the aircon consle bulbs. I ordered 2 pcs of the 7colour changing ones to try them out, should arrive in a week or so. Will let you guys know how they turn out. I just hope that they are bright enough.

actually the LEDs in the air conditioning console has them sodered to a board. The Opr8r, scionjohn and I were trying to change the colors, ripped apart the air conditioning control unit; But to our disapointment, we found them to be sodered and moved to another option to change the colors.

Thanks for the heads-up. However i noticed my bB speedo is using those bulbs thats why i ordered them anyway. The internal parts of speedo in the bB is totally dfferent from the xB. Instead of using leds like what you guys are having on the xB, the bB is using 2 pieces of twist lock socket running on T1.5 bulb with blue bulb condoms over them.

I was getting ready to change the colours of the led on the speedo with a blue permanent marker pen and to my surprise i found that the bB speedo is totally different from the xB after i took it apart. I will post up some picts the next time i take the speedo apart, which i believe should be pretty soon. Hope those bulbs will make the speedo look great with all the changes of the colours.

Yes, thats the 2 of us, but correction, we are not from Malaysia, we are from Singapore. Its the small little country in the south of Malaysia. We have sort of a love-hate relation with the guys from the north.

I found this website call www.superbrightleds.com I like to order some stuff from them. But their shipping is pretty high for a couple of small bulbs- US$ 25 for just shipping !!
