not sure matey really, its not something iv thought about tbh, depends on how u want them to look etc i guess too

i want them to look the same as yours do in the photo you just posted,

ill have to take the clocks out and post them to you and send the money with paypal
how much?




thing is to get them to look like mine you will need the anniversary dials, ill also need the filters as i dont have them here or the leds as iv used them all..i can prob sort the leds easy eoungh or if you get all the bits you want fitting that would prob be best for me as im a busy man at the mo, i have alot of events coming up so every minute is gonna count, as for price i need to think about this...

i gotn them from a good mate of mine but as i said before they are hard to get hold off, used the last ones on richies maf displays on his clocks.. you could try using ones out of some late mk 3 clocks, parking brake leds etc if you get my drift

I think the pic says it all about these, im not convinced about spending my dollar on them. Best of biding on some ani ones on ebay.
