Got mine installed today, just used the hose that came with the Defi and attached the sender to the accelerator bracket as shown in this picture. Picture's not mine, will get some pics up soon

Was wondering what I could replace my dash light bulbs with to try and match the defi illumination, it's a lot brighter as you see....

You wanna keep the cup holder but happy to lose a fan vent?
Please tell me you are not one of these fantastic people who insist the fog lights must be on in all weathers?

I never use the vents for heating. Either windscreen, windscreen and feet or just feet is good enough for me, so yes the cup holder is more important in that respect
And the fog light button is rewired, I have no fog lights!

So does the fog light switch operate the spots?
Very, very nice looking car esp the 22b vents but i'd have to have some 18's

Fog light switch allows the driving lights to come on, but they only come on when the main beam is activated

Which is exactly as they should.

TBH, mate, I'd leave the illumination alone: you'll NEVER match it perfectly.
I have five Defis and you just get used to it.

I know I'll never match it perfectly but it seems very dull compared to the Defi now

What do you think about yellow or green LED bulbs in the dash cluster? I'm thinking yellow with the green filter in the cluster might be a better match? I am colour-blind though BTW..

Just ordered these so will find out if it's any closer of a match..
