lol. yeh i got it done. It looks good it took me so long because in the end i found out it wasnt the globes or the upside down positioning of the sockets, it was actually 2 sockets were blown or not working (tested a working globe in a working position and still didnt work). to fix that problem i took the soscket from the little fuel light, put the led in that, then put it on my temperature gauge then presto all my dash is now green. i bought blues aswell incase i get bored of green.

Thankyou very much Granthem and Howie! Cheers boys I appreciate your help a lot!

PICS !!!!

Bumpage...

I'm stuck, mega stuck...

I've got the steering column covers off, the black and clear plastic gauge covers are off also, basically I can nearly entirely remove the entire gauge cluster out of the dash...

God I wish I had a digital camera, so difficult to explain in text...

Just not sure how to get to the LED's to swap them over, I've done everything else...

There are a couple of plugs (three I think) going into the back of the gauge cluster, I tried having a go tonight but I didn't want to hack my way through it... Can they be removed or not???

Halp!

how to you get to the ones behind the actual speedometer? 

ive bought these leds which look like they go in from the top

so do i have to unscrew these ones to get underneath? 

 

or have i bought the wrong ones ?

It's usually the simple stuff aye. Don't feel bad, happens to all of us. Just be glad you found it quickly.
