Those ralliart caps look mighty fine there!

I think if it was me, I would just settle for those ones on ebay. I think they are cheap as chips already.

The straight replacement dash wedge bulbs in the main cluster are not T5 matey.... they're T6.5.

6.5s are hard to find i read some where on here that the t5s will work but wont be a good fit and the t10s can be made to fit

any one know if the stock t6.5 are placed in holders ( meaning can remove the bulb and place thoses t5s in to the holder )

o and theres cheaper bolt lights then them ones but ive bought from that company befor they seam alright ( altho the blue leds i bought from them wernt that great had bubbles in some of the lenses )

yeah, the 6.5's will slot straight into the holders. T5's will fit, but will wobble around and potentially lose contact. T10's you need to break the housing off and use the legs.

I've done all 3 methods. Happiest with T6.5 and can't see me changing.

These are different shape to mine though. The heads might be too wide to fit through the hole from the back, so may need to insert the wedge through the hole from the other side, then attach the holder. The wedges on mine were a tad thick like these, but were able to be pushed into the holder with a bit of coercion.

If in doubt... you can always use the old Ruchi method: a T10 with the housing broken off:

T6.5: Bulb with a 6.5mm Wedge Base
T10: Bulb with a.... yup, you've got it :D
