These are the ones I used. 8 required, 6 for instrument panel, 2 for HVAC control panel. Incidently, the best solution I have found for other dash switches is to get wire ended fiament bulbs and carefully fit them to the stock bulb hoders. Its easy when you've done a couple of them. You can get these bulbs in different colours, no need to use those stupid silicone sleeves that Ford is so fond of.

Update!
Tried some different LEDs. These: 2 X 8 SMD LEDS Xenon White T10 w5w 501 sidelight BULBS: eBay Motors (item 130421214021 end time Nov-13-10 04:02:23 PST)
Soother light as they sit further away from the back of the dials. They also fit firmer in the existing bulb holders. I'm using these now as I prefer them.

Hon Kong is a long way away from England as it is from the US, so how long did it take for shipping?

They arrived in separate packs of 2 with the final pair arriving after about 3 weeks. The seller sent me a message saying normal deilery to UK or USA takes 7 to 25 days. The light they give is very even and they are worth waiting for. Sorry, I just checked the link I gave and bidding has now ended but if you search on ebay for T10 8 SMD LED, you'll find some.

Thanks, I'll do the search and buy some as I have to take my dash apart to repair a faulty connector soon and would like to change the bulbs at the same time.
