led cluster

has anyone installed these before? i dont feel comfortable with putting leds on the cluster and having to deal with the hassle of soldering all the wiring

Yes many have used them including myself. They work, but wont be as good as if you take the time to solder them. Though the ones for the climate and other buttons need to be soldered.

Sorry, LED dash lights look 100000000x better. (i had the best reverse glow gauges i have ever seen for the TL (from the group buy back in 01)and still prefer the LED over them)

the LED dash looks so fresh but if you still gotta mess around with puttin them in yourself after buying this "kit" id rather just do it by myself from the begining. although it is a semi easy, clean lookin gauge mod

I didnt read what you wrote at start... I was like "wtf you're going 27mph in park..." lol

It looks good, just need to put another led in to even out the top of the speedometer and the hot spot at the 7k RPM

There's only blue or red. The blue led's are actually white led's but they appear blue. So I got the blue set

Yeah not bad at all if you've got an idea of what you're doing. Here's the DIY on the website but they've changed their website since I got mine and this is a different DIY than the original, this ones worthless I'll try to find the old one.
