Abstract: An illuminated display system for a vehicle provides a display area for a display on a vehicle and an illumination housing which provides illumination, using light emitting diodes (LEDs), of the display in the display area. The LEDs are disposed in an illumination container disposed within the illumination housing and are connected to an actuator for a light in the vehicle. A circuit connecting the LEDs has a resistor disposed thereon, the resistance of the resistor being determined by the colour of the illumination provided by the LED.
