    I've been thinking about doing the same upgrade for a while as well, how easy was it to replace the lights - did you have to pull much of the dash off or is there an easier way to get access

    Gday Patrol2.8

    So where did you get the lights from and do the LED ones just replace the old ones?

    Looks great and will have to do this one for sure

    Hi patrol2.8, So you don't have to take the steering wheel off, I got the same kit the other week , mine just came with globes , not a how do paper LOL regards Alex

    update install led globes, thinking that all black caps where the ones I needed to change , the ones on the ends are battery and low fuel light that says on now , looks good , and one what the green light caps are for ? thinking there are for trip meter and time regards Alex
