this might have been one of the easiest mods i have done and while i had bice guages ans they already had a LED lighting done by the late Al Garcia, i really wanted to get these in, very nice! took a couple hours at most. here are some pictures .
I won these at Okteenerfest up in Banner Elk NC . just wanted to thank Tim foe donating these!!

Looks great! It's always nice seeing them gauges lit up at night, changes the night time driving experience.

Went too LED lamps.....just ok but not the real solution,have done LED strip in 2 gauges what a difference.
One of the few systems that works from the get go in my car,stuff works and then no go.
Bit of work to pull the gauge apart but worth it.

yes worth it for sure, so now i see how bad my signal lever looks with chipped off paint! something alon with my E-brake handle i didnt do when replacing what seemed like everything last summer.
any ideas? seems like i could just chip off the rest of the paint .

Get a spray can of SEM black trim paint and refinish it. The paint is correct for the wipers and other parts so it comes in handy.
