got mine from www.ultraleds.co.uk

mine have done about 20,000 miles and only the clock one blow the other week,

only problem is to get them to fit properly you have to file down the holder at the bottom of bulb

Any chance you remember the part number for the clock LED's?

Were they larger than the ones for the dash itself, as this is where my problem is I think - the light does not illuminate all of the space evenly.
