Materials List 4 x 100mm mini cold cathode neons (Jaycar) with seperate invertors - Remove daqsh surround and remove instrument cluster - Remove all esixting globes from instrument cluster - Remove needles (speedo, taco, oil pressure etc...) - Remove the printed gauge background - You can now see the motor's that drive these needles behind a plastic cover - Remove the scres and plastic cover - Place neon's evenly inbetween motors (use bluetak) - Wrap the invertors in electrical tape (as the back has exposed connections) and use doubble sided tape to hold them to the bottom edge of the cluster, there is plenty of space for upto 6 or maybe 7 starters - Connect neon's to starters - Run power and earth out the back of the cluster through the original globe holes - Place plastic cover on and speedo/taco backing and test for consistency and spread - Move neons as needed to get a consistant spread then silcone in place - Re-assemble All up if you have the parts it should take 30min...

I wasn't to sure about doing the instrument clustors but did go and do the door handles and climate controll and clock. After the time it took to do i thought u must be able to buy led already coverted to a twist-lock socket base. i have been doing a bit of looking and australia has nothing so i decided to look oversees as my old man buys lights from the states all the time and they are great. After a quiet a bit of time i have found an LED bulb installed in twist-lock socket base Available with White,Blue,Green,Red and Amber Wide Angle LED. I have jut recieved them and they look like they will go right in, compared it next to an old one i pulled out doing the first mods. Havn't had the chance to put one in and see how bright it is yet but as soon as i do i will post another msg. They are cheap to. Bought them just as cheep as what you can here but you don't have to do aa thing to them, no soldering resisters and c**p.
