^^ you can replace the filter with rolling papers as the filter is dyed yellow Smile

You can also get the ones with the holder attached such as these which are less of a faff to change Wink

The bulbs pull out of the holder and they are standard T5 bulbs in them Wink

IIRC the only ones that are a single piece bulb and twist lock holder as standard are the ones behind the heater controls Smile

There are some on ebay, advertised as T5, they often say something about B8 in the description. They are the wrong type, I made this mistake, but luckily, managed to pull the LED out and swap that over.


This is the T5 B8, which will not fit the 306

Urm either blue or white. Can't remember. All I do remember is that the led has the tendency to fall out the holder lmao

What was that? you want me to PM you my address?? lol

Seriously though, My dash is done with white and blue so either is good for me, if you do actually want rid of them let me know what you want for them Via PM and I will sort you something out Smile
