I have a 06 GP 1.4 8v Dynamic in black and i'm thinking about changing the rear number plate lights to some LEDs or something that is bright white.

I read something about resistors being required when using LEDs, is that right?

Is it possible to buy a LED bulb with the resistor built in, so I can change them without thinking more about it?


I have a dead bulb in the heater panel below the radio - can I change that to LEDs or do I need a regular bulb to spread the light to all the switches?

Links to ebay or another dealer that ships to Europe (Denmark) would be very much appreciated. Thx!

Has anyone else noticed that the uneven spread of light from aftermarket LED bulbs in a lens intended for a conventional bulb make a number plate much harder to read? Perhaps this is a bonus?

Also, I presume the resister is wired in series with the LED bulb to drop the voltage across it from 12 to sometimg like 2.5v? If so the resister is going to be converting electrical energy into heat at quite a rate, do they tend to burn out?
