It took me about three months to do it and spend a lot of money buying super white LEDs, red LEDs, and blue LEDs. Not an easy projet! I don't do it on anyone else's car! Sorry.

Just do it. Playing around with our car...removing the whole dash out and dismantle the radio, clock, ac, gauges and and you will figure. That was how I did it.

Maybe you could write up some directions instead.... that way we can post them in the FAQ or Extremely Useful Topic section in case someone wants to do their own LED mods....

Man, That shit looks so dope! Love the Blue man, looks like the center lighting in the MDX. Your installs look real clean too, see and everyone here thought you were just bullshittin' with those accent trim rings, Mad Props.

Wish you could come out to Cali! You do some shit like that in my ride, you are welcome in my house anytime!

I don't want to do this again! It was a hard project. The whole dash had to be stripped down to electronic level. Thank for the offer though!

RobG,
It is not a simple project. I am electrical engineer so I am able to to make work. I was going to make a kit but it can't be done.
