ok, i think this is one (http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=125149#) of the most asked question! From where should i buy the blue interior LED's (Cig, Heater, MFD, Dials) ?? i already bought 2 different sets, both the same, very dim (http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=125149#)! Cig, and heater not bad, but MFD ones very very dim, im not even going to try and fit the dials one!! Thanks veryy much!

You need to crack open the MFD and replace the diffuser.

I bet you have an orange defuser in your MFD causig the LED's to be dim. Just open it and replace the defuser with something of equal size like a bit of an ice cream tub.
That will sort your problem

i tought about that diffuser part of the MFD, i opened it but just kept looking at what can i do ! the LED's seemed to be bright, but still very dim! how can i replace the diffuser? and i dont want to fit the dials yet becoz of removing all those parts and then get a very dim result!!

Just take out the orange one and replace with either a bit of ice cream tub, a white defuser from another C or you can get defuser material from www.crazyleds.co.uk

I was lucky enough to have a white defuser in mine so if you can find a whice corsa C defuser that would be your best option

Just ordered a load of SMDs to do the CDR2005, got them coming in white, blue and red. Cost me a stack of money 3AM :( hope I can sell some of them.

I can make a new diffuser for you Dav, perfect thickness so the screen doesn't tilt in and performs better than the orginal white ones. Cost is £1 with LEDs or £1.50 by itself
