Behind it are 3 LED's, they are simple to get to with the dash trim removed. Two of the old LED's are a straight swap for the blue LED's.
The third is a bit tricky in that it is soldered into the unit. With a bit of fiddling i managed to swap mine over and solder the new one in.

Yea, shinobi off here sent mine out to me. Decent chap.

I only changed the heater LED because it was annoying me that it wasnt blue, even though you cant see it all that much.

The clocks were ok to get to, but i had the whole of my dash out at the time so wasnt too hard.
Tbh wouldnt take too long to do just the LED's for the dials.

Shinobi off here does the LED's for -
MFD Kit = £3.99
Heater Panel = £6
Speedo = £3.99
Cig Lighter = FREE

P&P £1.99 flat rate

Very good service
