Ooh.. the suspense is killin me! Hurry up and get the pics up then.

TigerVX.. I forget how it all comes apart.. but I'm fairly sure the metal contacts that you need to solder to (the board with the contacts on it) contain all the electrical parts. So it wouldn't be a straight swap over. The KMs/Trip computer would be different.

What a let down =(
Not that it's not good or anything, but still very basic and not a whole lot different. But props to the work you've done.

I had the same thoughts as most of you and did this. It is a prick of a job. But I had fun. I have attached what I did to my car.

They are RGB LED's (Red Green Blue) and they are an all in one LED. So you can change the colours at the flick of a switch.

The red needles are actually orange, but there are a few different shades whether it be sun fade or what , its just a matter of looking at a wreckers and finding the darkest set possible. (Just a hint - they can also be painted and if done right, they will lighten up, but there is a better method)

I will be doing another mod to this shortly and will be making it possible to change the colour of the needles as well at the flick of a switch.

Stay tuned..................
