    LED bulbs aren't that expensive and look better than the factory incandescent orange. I got mine from crazyleds.co.uk, who sell them as kits specific for your car.

    I've been happy with mine so far, but not everyone has been happy with CrazyLEDs service and products.

    Any idea how many I need and what type? Would like to have everything ready before I pull the instrument cluster out.

    I only want to replace the instrument cluster bulbs, not the whole dash.

    I'm not fussed if it's orange or white, so long as I can see the temp gauge and tacho at night...

    I'd leave that for another Astra owner to tell you, as I own a Barina XC/Corsa C and haven't pulled the dash on an Astra.

    @Astra 429G, I'm guessing the 429G is a reference to your number plates. If it is, I reckon I just spotted your car in Young Street in the CBD next door to the gym. Nice and clean looking car too.

    Yeah, I drive down that street a couple of times every morning in one of the many StarTrack vans around the city delivering mail. As a fellow Opel owner, anything Opel stands out a bit more than usual and obviously the plates triggered off thinking it might have been you.

    Did the rbcs bypass this morning. Boost problem is gone, thank God!

    Anyone who tells you you can fit 3mm hose over the OE DV pipe is kidding you. I had to use the factory hose and run a 6mm to 3mm connector. Would be worth replacing the standard hose but I ran out of patience.

    Also, I retained the factory hose that runs to the throttle body and squeezed some silicon hose over the factory plastic pipe. Would be better to replace the lot, but I dare say that requires removing the top hat.

    Otherwise, it's a painful but fairly straightforward procedure. I absolutely had to remove the crossover pipe, and made life easier by also removing the air box cover and moving the air flow meter out of the way (left it connected, as the plug is stubborn!)

    If you're as bad a mechanic as me, budget at least 2 hours for the whole job. I have spare connectors left over if anyone else wants to do this mod.
