Sure it looks great... but it takes a hell lot of effort and time. I believe he took a month or more to do it himself. I wish my car had that conversion too...

ok, there is no "coversion kit" for this procedure. Im in the middle of doin it myself, and lemmie tell ya, it aint no walk in the park. the eight lights on the instrument cluster alone have taken me 12 hours so far. you need a soldering iron, a steady hand, resistors, LED's, and lots of free time. Its worth it in the end, but god damn, its tricky.

HERE is the DIY:

and here is what it looks like:

Awesome mod! Wish I knew how to solder and had to free time to do that. Aren't the LED's pretty expensive too?
