Anyone know where in Brisbane or instaweb I can get these from?
They're the globes from the switches on the cluster shroud (demister, fog lamps etc)
I haven't tried MR Automotive yet, no auto shops have them and JayCar looked at me like i had 3 heads.. certainly dont want to have to call LR and pay $1000 just to dial their number (lol)
Cheers!

I got mine from Rimmer Bros in the UK, price wasn't too bad and they posted them out quickly, I bought about 9 of each (orange and green) so I would never run out again.

I found a whole bunch of sellers on evilbay after learning more about what type of globe I'm looking for lol
They are T3 globes/lights and ebay is saturated with LED replacements, selling for around $7 for 4 free post ... has anyone fitted these LED replacements to thier switches, any clearance/fittment dramas?
Also thinking of upgrading all the halogen globes in the dash/console with LEDs, one thing i have noticed is all the brittle and discoloured plastic surroundings of the globes from the excessive heat generated.. especially the power window control panel! :o
I'm absolutely certain that I'm not a pioneer with this idea, has anyone else swapped out thier instrument lighting for LED? Is it as simple as I'm assuming to be?

Cheers
