Does anyone have the link to the dash light upgrade thread - if I remember correctly this is to upgrade the standard set up to LEDs
I've had a hunt around the forums but without any success
Thanks

i did this to mine, but instead of soldering i just trapped the wires for the 12v LED strip under the clock bulb contacts. bit fiddly but manageable

Cheers Jaaquo, just what I was after. Do you also have the link for the led strip you bought (with the wires attached)
did you also manage to sort out the rust spot with the paint guys who did Scotts respray ?

I pickup up an orange LED strip from fleabay last week, I'm hoping to fit this tomorrow if I get the time.
