Re: Bulbs
Still havent got round to this yet, but i am resuming the hunt in Jan, http://www.mr-resistor.co.uk and http://www.ultraleds.co.uk should cover all the required bulbs, failing that Ebay should have any missing ones

Edit: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ list the excel and all bulbs which is handy!
£151.82 to change all bulbs (inc fogs but Excl. Headlight H4s) to LED versions, and add 100%+ H4 bulbs... thats expensive but would look interesting!

Re: Bulbs
Can you change the indicator bulbs for LEDs, or do they need a resistor to be compatible with the indicator unit?

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!
