Granted I had to figure out polarity and wasn't just plug and play, but that's still a better savings IMO.

Tried to find the same ones I bought last time, but the seller doesn't sell them anymore, or any other SMDs for that matter. I bought them a while a go and ebay has clearly gotten rid of the advert. However they are similar to these ones. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10pcs-Bright ... 35b48e9b5c When you put these in, you have to make sure the polarities are correct. Not hard to find out but if you put them in the wrong way, you might burn out the LED. A quick on/off action to see if it was installed correctly should be fine, no longer than a second IMO.

These are like the ones I bought for my EL but mine were $5 odd for 10: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10x-Blue-Car ... 35b18d3323
Fairly easy to do, Unscrew the head unit/ cigarette lighter surround, pull that out.. Then you undo the 2 screws behind that, the 2 above the cluster, and over near the boot release button, and there is a few clips along the top and that whole bit will come out (pull it off a little bit, then unplug clock/boot release buttons etc, don't get mixed up)..... and then its just 4 screws and the cluster comes right out... I used all the factory buld holders, they're a bit of a PITA to get some of the factory bulbs out of holder, but easy once you've done 1.. also some of the holders there the bulbs just pop out of easily. It's hard to know which way to put them in.. what I done was put them all in, plug the cluster in, turn lights on.. the ones that didn't light up I turned them around 180 degrees. Also while the cluster is out you might want to change the dash face, there is some really nice looking ones (I left my old cluster face BEHIND the new one, so mine isn't too bright, but still looks good, I only changed cluster lights, ash tray and key light, none of the buttons).

Oh right, my bad. Haven't taken a photo, but it has more spread than normal LEDs that's for sure. Only did the dash, not clock and buttons yet.

hey im the seller of the t4 neo wedges on ebay. i know the price is high but have you ever seen the ebay fees! The reason why i also charge a little more is because i am a reputable seller who has the smd products here and not in some asian country where you will never know if theyll arrive! i also offer help with installing and have made sure my supplier is always up to scratch with quality! my globes are not led theyre smd whch are much brighter. also, theres no need for reverse polarity etc as i havent ever ever had a problem with my smd leds. they are plug and play! i am willing to do them cheaper off of ebay if you want to visit my fb site Auto Illumi Nation and i will discount most items for fordmods peeps.
