Hey that looks really nice man! Could you give me a how-to and some locations of where you bought everything? I really like the white backing of the guages and the chrome surround. Are the LED's hard to install? Thanks!

HI Jtap,
i actually startedmeddling with the meter earlier but did not get the results until lately.If u were to readthe thread on led lights , u would know exactly what happens, I tried alot of leds from UK (blautecho) , superbrite etcs but still not good but lately here in sin they have a range of super bright leds, had them on ( pics on the last2 pages of led thread )and was satisfied with the results .Did the same to my friend 124 which was really dim and it turns out beyong expectation . got the colour theme but was rather dim, is looks shaggy . i them suggested that we tried adding these led (pg 3 , 3rd pics on led thread)
but would have to drill thecasing of the meter . my friend agreed .we then stick up 3 pcs of led and had the wire connected to the headlight swith (indicator light).
Bingo , it looks wonderful, he had original black dials with blue led replacements . I so happy with the results and did mine with white theme ....
