No. Its not something that one could really write a DIY up for. Its a lot of trial and error. Placing light, placing gauge on lighting it up and seeing how it looks.

that understandable, what about parts and wiring though? And like any special techniques. Just dont know where to really start and was hoping to get some pointers so I can know what parts to order and what to expect before I tear apart the dash

Nothing more than Blue, white and red LEDs placed in the right areas.

These are the ones i bought to play with and ended up using them and leaving them in.

Nothing special as far as techniques, just lots of playing.


Oh and i carefully stripped the green backing off the gauges so that the color of the leds showed thru properly and not the greenish color like the oem has
