The led globes with the four little dots are the best ones but they may not be bright enough be cause of the green film behind the gauges I just put white ones in mine made my cluster so much brighter also get a couple of white ones for the Parker's they look so much better then the crappy amber ones

how hard is the soldering to do this yourself and what is the potential of risk? im interested in a DIY kit cos i might find it hard finding time to go to sydney on the same weekend Phreddy can

ive done a bit of work soldering, some more intricate stuff to. but a dash cluster is a bit different to a multicolour LED strip haha and does it come with detailed instructions on how to pull everything apart?

Thanks

The main 1 u gotta look out 4 is the cluster and desoldering the LCD screen, if u dont get that desoldered properly or heat up the contacts 2 much u can damage it, or cause a fault in the cluster which can b costly 2 replace or fix. if u got a steady hand and can work with tweezers 4 the tiny smd LEDs 4 most of it u should b fine if ur confident enough. yeah it does come with awsome instructions that was a massive plus in the hard work Greg has done 2 provide such detailed instructions 2, u'll see wat i mean wen u get them. contact Greg (pheddy) himself as i cant provide the instructions only he can. if u get stuck or not sure im sure u guys could work somthing out together aswell.
