Might sound a bit obvious, but you have checked all is well with the instrument lighting switch thingy? it can get knocked pretty easily

Re: Desperate for new bulbs. am driving blind!
So Rich, would you be the man to speak to about getting my switches swapped over to blue then...think I can do the footwell rear view mirror and instrument lighting, but those switches need soldering and stuff!

i dont think you want to tell us by the sounds of it!!

Re: Desperate for new bulbs. am driving blind!
Well I have to admit that I haven't done blue LED switches before but I have done loads of precision soldering. I used to own a small electronics manufacturing company. Can't be that difficult. I have installed a small additional loom in my 'F than handles my accessory power, head unit mute and mini driving lights. That's why I've got extra switches on the dash. So bring it on!

Ahh we need to talk about the additional lights, I really fancy a discreet set tucked up around the grille area like yours.
I remember seeing them that time we drove to the first Oxford meet in the rain in convoy and you caught up with us on the A43 those lights looked great!
Oooh my 100th post I'm clearly a little slow, been signed up since hte start, clearly I'm quality not quantity driven
