Just need to find out what kind of bulbs light up your dials, mine are 501 type wedge bulbs, same as normal sidelight ones. I should imagine yours will be them too or T5 286 ones which are smaller.
Can get the bulbs on Ebay for about 3 or 4 pounds per pair. Getting another 2 sets for my speedo and my temp gauge soon. Thumbs Up

Here is the picture i took, you can really see the difference between them. You can also get them in other colours such as red,yellow,green and xenon look white. I have one of the xenon white ones in as my sidelight bulb at the moment. I am going to get another two pairs for the rest of the clocks too. Sorry there is a little blur i can't hold a camera still!

They look nice enough, but they won't do wonders for your night time riding. Look down and you'll lose your night vision, it could be quite dangerous if they're too bright.

I don't think that'd really be an issue considering you wouldn't have very good night-vision anyway after using your headlight beam to navigate Question.

It isn't that bad, the LEDs i went for didn't just point forwards, they spread out cause i didn't want the dial to be "patchy" so its more of an illumination then a blue kick in the face when you look down. Could have gone for other colours, but blue is just nice looking and stands out more.
Also you DON'T get a blue glow on the front of the screen when you're riding about, trying to be as legal as possible.

I went for them so they spread the light all around the clocks.

The fitting on the bulb is the same as a sidelight bulb, a 501 type wedge bulb. I've got a one as sidelight bulb at the moment, although mine is the xenon white colour rather then blue, have a look at the pictures. I just think they look better then the dull yellow normal ones.

i've got a blue headlight bulb in mine, well... its just a normal one with a blue tint, although it was advertised as a xenon. Which gives out more light looks good at night too. Getting a highbeam one too soon, also in "xenon" white.

They're xenon headlight systems, and every time I see one I have to fight the urge to kick the crap out of the headlights. They are the most dangerous 'premium headlight system' and anyone who actually spends money having them fitted should be shot. Mad
