Default LED bulbs and other stuff for MK2 Focus

I'm an Ebay addict. I've bought all the things I need (and not need) and now I've come to a dead stop. At the moment I'm just sitting in front of my PC on Ebay thinking..."What can I buy?"

So I thought I'd buy stuff for the Zetec I haven't even got yet! So far I've...

I bought a 3inch autobot insignia sticker to stick on the rear hatch window to let everybody know that my Focus is a good guy and if you touch it its gonna change into a giant angry robot. Anyone watched transformers when they were a kid?

A thermometer to tell me the temperature inside the cabin! Its got a 3 meter wired outside probe which I might put somewhere in the engine bay just in case there's a fire in there.

Anyway, I'm interested in these LED Indicator bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2pcs-BA15S-Ha...QQcmdZViewItem Anyone has experiences using them? I've got LED flash lights and I'm sold on them. LEDs have massive (100K+ hours) life span compared with filament bulbs. I think LED indicator/stop/taillight bulbs for cars would be great. This would save me from always thinking about whether the indicators bulbs are blown or not which I obsessively check.

Also what the globes used for the MKII headlights? H7, H3? I want to get Phillips Bluevision globes.

persoanally havent looked at anything LED for the New Focus, but in my MK1 I tried a few LED bulbs for the side indicators only to find none would fit into the lens (they were always too long).

have seen some MK1 LED tails on www.ebay.com (US) which look pretty awesome but are very exy.

Had something very similar in the taillights of my old EF. They were very good but im unsure as to whether the same ones would fit in a Focus?

The one I really want to do is the dash lights to blue - im a bit over green.
