    So im hoping to get a blue LED illuminated ignition ring going gon. Currently it doesnt illuminate in my 1990 aus-spec. Its clear plastic with a bit of a yellowy old tinge to it.

    Just wondering do I simply buy an LED for it, or do I need a special illuminating ring only standard in later models? I see ebay sells the rings for like 15 delivered..

    They all did light up at some stage...the bulb probably has just blown.

    Rob is currently doing a GB on led's...so maybe contact him and see if he can get you a single bulb.

    Had some spare bulbs from a LED kit i bought for the zed once. Pulled the ignition apart and found the bulb. Luckily I had a match in the collection of unknown leftover LED's :)

    It now lights up blue!


    What about keyhole ring illumination on the doors. Is there such thing>?

    Sounds like you are in need of a plug n play LED kit..

    I recall that only all Japan spec light up. Some others do and don't.
    Some have a blown bulb but some haven't even been wired in from factory.

    In the past few months someone posted the mod the get it going in a similar thread.

    Unless I was digging...
