Dead simple, unscrew the 2 screws to the instrument cluster, take that out, then just unscrew all the LED's from the back and replace them with blue ones, it couldnt be easier.

The cost according to my email when i bought them was: 2 x (501) Blue 6 Super Bright Leds (Pair) Wide Angle () = £14.10.

Looks ace

Makes a difference at night too. A lot brighter and easier to see. Only downpoint is the red part of the guages dont start out too well.

you can also do the switch lights.

The only bit that annoys me, is in the dark, i cant tell how much fuel i have, the LED's dont light up that bit enough for me to see They are the wide angle ones too.
