The Speedo and RPM is using T10 bulbs, The Trip/Clock is using modified T5 white LEDs.

Both give a different shade of white though

which website?

 

Alamak I order very long ago. >1 year back. Forgot the site but if u search tru MCF u sud come across it. Im sure I found the site in MCF that time.

 

Ty have many colours to choose from. But I suspect ty r made in China as its fm HK.

 

Msia I find at Giant Southern City at the section with all the car stuff. But I only see white n blue colours.

 

Or just go Sim Lim Sq. There also selling all sorts of LEDs.
