i've got level 3 dash, so i can't speak for any other dashs but you pretty sure you can't reach up behind the dash, it's not that hard to take it out anyway, 3 or so screws, just don't lose any pieces and be careful some of the plastic bits might be old and cracked

Yeah no...
The "dash", or cluster, is a seperate module. Youll find that no matter how hard you try you CANT get ot it from the fuse box.
You need to remove the cluster surround (4xScrews)
Then the cluster (2xScrews)
Then pull the cluster apart (bazillion screws)
Remove the needles (use a fork)
Remove the backing (2xScrews Each?)
Then.. solder in new L.E.D's making sure to place them so that it has correct coverage + no hot spots etc...
Then wire them in, then take out the original globes...
To hard? Sounds like it...
Solution?
Buy a custom backing from ebay, blue lights, no fuss, 30 Dorra?
