Oh ya, and the pics arent too good. My brothers digital cam is a little too complicated. I guess thats what you get when you buy a thousand dollar camera, coudnt figure out how to take a pic without the flash and it not be on extended exposure so it looks a bit strange. But I'll retake pics when I get my flipout installed and I'll make sure to use a simple digi.

Well like I said a few weeks back, I got the diy from NATE, his website is N4TE.COM its in there somewhere. the needles dont light it b/c I accidentally took out the bulbs when I was working on the leds. Didnt really notice until everything was back in, im going to fix it when I open it up to replace one of the bulbs I blew by accident. the pics dont really do it justice. They are no where near too bright and they definitely dont hurt your eyes. When I get the HU installed I'll get some cleaner pics, also Im going to replace the shift gate lights and the doors which will complete the process. When I get my stock HU out I'm going to replace those bulbs and if anyone wants I can just switch theres out for mine, but that'll definitely be sometime after x-mas. Also if someone coould pm me as to how to post pics, then things'll run alot smoother from now on.

Alright I'll pull out the link. Its LED Conversion Guide It took me about 6 months to do, partly cuz I took my dash apart before I got the bulbs. Then 5 weeks to understand the diy, but I have to thank nate cuz he gave me sooooo much help through it. But after I figured it out it only took about a week. If I were to do it now it would take about two or three days but definitely not solid ones, I have ADD and it takes a while.

It cost about 150, Im gonna need about another 150 to finish the rest. My dash was apart for like 6 weeks though, Im sure it was still disassmbled that day you came over. It was so disheartening driving my car everyday. But now its all worth it.

You know, I'm gonna go to the local junkyard and buy an instrument cluster and dash piece and experiment on that. That way, if I screw up, it won't matter!

Props , looks great, it really updates the car!!
