[Woppit]

hiya guys, it took me best part of 1 day, Buy the complete kit from ebay, about 21 quid i think, comes with all LEDS to changed ALL switches. and i painted the dials with humbrol gloss enamel paint (i have model makers hands) that took ages but its worth it whilst its all undone. its dayglow orange i painted them in which goes red under the UV light of the blue LEDS.

Do they dim properly?

[Woppit]

they do indeed, the kit comes with little solder in resistors tat allows the lot to dim

[Jack3559]

What... So they do still dim using the normal dash wheel thing?
