Thanks Gary, very grateful for your help and generosity mate.
sorry to bring forward an old topic, but does anybody have more green condoms for light bulbs?
Looked around in a few stores and cant find them. I wouldnt know them if I saw them anyway haha
If you don't want to pay ridiculous money you can always go to Dick Smith Electronics and pick up LED's and diodes.
I don't have much money to throw around so i had a close look at the bags on the abovementioned work guid at oldholden.com, and found that i needed <b>430ohm resistors</b> and <b>3.2-3.4V LED's </b>(any colour you want) i think it said <b>3500-4500mcd </b>whatever that means.
Only reason i didn't attempt this myself is i couldn't find the little fittings to mount them in-but i WILL do it. I imagine it'd improve guage visibility heaps...and look

Kick starting an old topic again, although i mentioned the alternative above to buying the kits, i can't find the little fittings that the LED's go into so i was considering just getting a kit.
Only problem is the link on oldholden.com comes up with nothing. Does anyone know where else you can get these kits now? Every time i search it comes up with lighting kits for little ricer cars-nothing that can be adapted to what i want to use them for.
EKKOOL im looking in your direction

Go to the supplier section of the forum and look for classic globes in Badelaid( Adelaide) and give him a call. If he hasn't got it he can give you a lead on where to get it. He is also doing up a EK ute so he is Old Holden frendly!!!
