they're definately reliable.

I will work out a price and will let you know. But won't be too expensive as I like to be competitive with other similar products.

Another little update.

Saturday the weather was good so I brought the boost gauge pipe from under the bonnet into the car. As I needed to take the cover off at the bottom of the windscreen I managed to crack the windscreen at the bottom unfortunately which was upseting  :cry: Now need a new screen. Although My screen had a chip and needed to be changed anyway.

Monday it took me almost all day to make holes into the cluster behind the engine rev for the LEDs, however finally got it done and looks absolutely great.

As I didn't get a chance to connect everything up yesterday I will do during this week and will update everyone with the finaleeeee results.

I will upload pictures of how it looks later on today.

Yep, blue leds a bit bright. Need to make them less bright.
