classy, or cheesy?

I've got my super S clocks, now I'm looking at changing the lighting, I've seen these on e-bay, there's a pic of a converted dash, what d'ya reckon?

Changing the dial lights looks alot better than standard ones. I think a few people here have done it. Im not too sure how good those bulbs are, but you probably cant go wrong with some from ultra leds.

Cheers Arnold,

Anyone got any pics? I'm looking at blue or red, I can't find pics of red though.

The ebay ones say they've fitted the correct fitting (push fit) for the micra dash, should save some hassle.

They might be fine, you could always give them a go! Cant really complain for that price.

I had blue ones in my old K11. They were already done when I bought the car, but they looked ace! Not sure if red ones would be a bit hard to see though.

I have red ones on my K10 & they look excellent. Definitly a colour worth doing

i got them blue ones on my k11, they look awesome, however the bulbs are much cheaper from Ultraleds.co.uk, i did try red as well and they look great to.
You'd probally be better off buying UV reactive bulbs , since the white parts of your dials will glow brigher. One problem with the blue bulbs is that you cant see Red marker on the fuel gauge clearly.
