I think so but I did not bother. You could go all out and change them all to LEDs.

Blue is nice,
Went for T5 wedge LED's from autobarn (one store had pack of 2 for $8 - another had pack of 5 for $12)
popped straight in no trouble, need to pull it out once more to check light in bottom rev ring-seems dull dont think it's in proper.
Noticed on drive tonight sports gears aren't showing up also must have nocked the globe loose.
Will double check it all and post pics.
looks heaps better.Cheers again JDM

I have to say I love those dash cluster pics Shane, looking forward to seeing yours B1B2.
Also I love the White B4's you both have, I haven't seen one in the metal(flesh) but they look damn good from the pictures.
What State are you in B1B2, on the off chance you are Melb you should come to the next cruise.

Thanks for the love chaotic, this is the first car iv'e had i feel can use some extra attention, enjoy every minute of of shitt.ing myself through a new mod hoping it goes back the way i pulled it out. The forums have helped me heaps.

JD- Repco/Jaycar had the led's also but not 6 on hand, At autobarn i also grabbed the blue festoon led interior light kit - (24.95) looks sweet in blue nice disco interior, did map lights also, very very easy to install.
Now no junkies can shoot up in my car.
will get pics up asap, off to check that other globe.

Okay a couple of quick pics, still need to work on one of the led's its not firing up (i need a new blue thing the wedge globe fits in-the one you turn to lock the light into dash)
I think it still looks heaps better than the faded old orange colour i had.
Also another thing i picked up led's have polarity and have to be inserted the correct way, no damage if plugged wrong however wont work if in wrong way.
A couple of pic's of the interior blue light disco, looks good when you unlock car and lights up blue, Boot light also which emits a nice blue haze over my subwoofer.
Weekend o fun and games, thanks for all advice.

I just got some for my Gen4 from PHAT GT.
I had a look on japanparts for GenIII for you but I can't see any, so send phat an email forumparts@gmail.com and ask if he can get them for you.
