Damm - that looks good......

Does it all still dim down like the std lighting?

No red needles tho...... I'm sure someone else has done it with red needles

Looks like UK clocks to me

they are later clocks 98> and it means slodering little l.e.ds on to the pcb. but if you've got pre >98 then its case of remove filters and replace with coloured blubs/twist fit l.e.ds i've nearly fininshed doing mine white lighting & red needles

lol the fact that its in german scares me away from doing it - some how makes taking my dash to bits more intimidating
