Post by chrispy. »

Hey!

Just found these on ebay and am very interested.
However really stumped as to how i can replace my standard red ones

Anyone know if you can swap the needles over?

You can. BUT you need to change the LED's in the cluster that lights up the needles aswell... And THAT is a very tricky job. You need to take everything apart to get at them.

Are they not white LED's?

But yeah, 2 screws to get the cluster out, then a few to take the cover off.
