yeah they look wicked! Would look great in red with a set of reverse red lcd's from DDI.

For the light panel though, being the oposite way round to ours, I'm sure if you took out the dials and dropped them into our correct way round panel they'd still work a treat. good find ;)

Would these work even if you dont have lighted buttons? like heater dials? plus do they come with intructions?

Wizzkidd just emailed me regarding leds i replied this:

would you want it done as soon as? i am a bit busy but could fit it in bit by bit and you will obviousely have to pay for the return postage. just to let you know i am not an expert at this mod but i am the electronic and tech repair engineer for hawkwoods.com so have a good bit of knowledge of that side of it and also have carried all work on my cars by myself so i am mechanical also. the leds and wire wont cost much few quid from farnel or rs (component suppliers) will be a couple hours work though which i dont mind. you want to post it over and il get it apart, i will also show you some leds for you to choose from once i have looked at it and decided what leds to use.

Offers open there mate could do this together and you'd have a sick dial mod if any damage is caused i will sort you out so theres no worries. I have been looking into doing this myself but never got round to buyin dials
