Thanks for all the compliments! To do the actual work took me about 7 hrs. That includes ripping apart the parts, soldering, shaving, etc. But I spent a lot ot time before hand doing research and stuff. Here is a guide written by Nate on how to do it

http://natestl.seattleone.com/LEDProject.html

This guide helped me a lot. Without it, this project would take forever.

The whole project costed me less than 100$CDN. LEDs are bought from a local guy here in Toronto, who happens to have a source for them. The LEDs are not the expensive wide angle type, but as you can see in the pics the results are the same, if not better. This has lowered the price of the projects many times fold.

Yes they are indiglos. They don't make it for our car. They on;t have for 2000+ TL-P. But the only difference is the 4-spd and 5-spd. If you make a cutout at the gear indicator, the gauges will fit. Redline and everything are the same
