Re: Dashlight swap.....
Looks real good. How much time in it so far. What about the odometer reading, will you be able to change that color?

Re: Dashlight swap.....
To answer both questions...
Yes I'm going to hit the odometer to, I just didn't have the right desoldering tool....And the control panel took the longest, probably about four hours, since I didn't know what type of LED's were in there and the speedo took about 4 hours as well due to watching football at the same time....

Looks great man, Im jealous as hell.
Is there anyway to convince you to do a write up on the process with Led sizes and part numbers?

Re: Dashlight swap.....
Great job, no patient on my part so I'll just admire yours for the time being.
How many LED have you de-soldered and soldered so far?

If it came like that from the factory, I bet someone would try and change it to amber.
