I have bought Gowesty LED lights si I can have a green glow to the cluster but must admit I have had 4 LEDs not work out of 8 so feel that they do have some inherent issues. Gowesty were good when the first lot didn't work out of the box and sent me a complete new set but 2 didn't work again and they seem to just stop working after a few weeks. Have given up on using them but still looking for leds that are reliable.

Sorry but do you mean a T3 (T25) Kombi or a type 3?

It's a cinch to make your own LED bulb and guaranteed to work. Take the old bulb and desolder the end so the glass bulb can be pulled out. Then by buying from RS Online, free delivery, you buy some LEDs and resistors and make your own bulbs.
Simple internet search can tell you how to do the maths for the correct resistor value for the LED used. :)

I have done this after ready made LED bulbs were DOA too often.
