What did you do to your MX5 today ?

You still might need to sand off the writing on the lights to get it to bond properly, but it looks better smooth anyway.

Was looking for a red spray to do just a light coat. But smoked might look good too. Film might be a better job as well.

This is them done with smoke spray. I sanded them down after this as I wasn't crazy about the look.

I fitted a 400 watt amplifier to my Roadster, great job for the sound quality.

I want to play Ac/dc on that mother. Or should we try fire starter to warm up the tin?!

Fitted blue dash bulbs last night.

Anyone know how to change the bulb for the air con button?

Nice Job on the lights Andy.

Are they standard dials fitted?

Think this is where the AC bulb is but its a smaller fitting than the other dash bulbs

and in here for the hazard and light switch

These 2 show the dash and heater control ones. The empty slots are the bulbs for the dials

Standard dials fitted.

Thanks for the pictures, going to strip down the centre console again and have a look. You hardly have a picture of one of those really small bulbs? Is it a mini capless bulb?

The bulbs I used are LED and are polarity sensitive. Test them before reassembly and if it doesn't work turn the bulb 180 degrees.
