SDUKES - Bulbs sent as requested.
Dyney - Problem with the switches and clock, they use a much smaller bulb for illumination. The manufacturer in Taiwan would require a order in the thousands before they could tool up for this, so unless I get a massive interest in the bulbs, I suspect it won't be happening !

Is it possible to change the green coloured film in the switches to blue? (The bulbs are white!!!)
Simon,
I've done the instrument cluster, going to try the heater controls (again) today.

gaz - you should be up to date with e-mails, let me know if interested ! 
SDUKES - Irony is, once you've done it once, second time around is alot easier ! Hope your happy with the result.
For anyone else interested, my current stock is almost gone, I will be re-ordering but this will probably take 2 weeks min., so anyone in a rush for these, let me know !

So what happened in the end? Did we manage to get the dash converted or what?
I like the idea of a blue illumination on the dash and the instruments...the green glow ain't my thang.
Plus, the blue goes well with the new Nokia cellphones! :P
