Blue LED dash

Hey everyone. I'm just wondering if anyone in the GTA knows how or someone who can do the blue LED dash. I know there are DIY's on this site. I've read them a couple of times but I still am too scared to mess around with the wiring. So please leave me a mesg here or pm.

Thanks in advance!

- Justin

I can do them. Redid mine last night in hyper white, but couldn't reassemble cause my center console is out for repainting.

It takes roughly an afternoon to do. The pisser is that you have to totally dismantle your center console to get at the necessary parts, it's a pain in the *** for me, cause I'm a fat lazy Filipino man.

Yes squeeze, I can do this job. What do you think is a fair price to have this done? I already have a figure in mind, but of course it's open to negotiation, unlike my headlight clearing prices.

But there are so many others things I *should* do before.. hmms
Does look very nice .. Though I wish someone made a Km/h reverse gauge (if they do.. I can't seem to find them :x )

I'll think about it as I go about doing some of my other work .. haha "I go" more like the bodyshop does

And no.. it isn't anything radical. Just repainting a bad paintjob and adding a spoiler.

any electronics shop... they're usually between 3 to 5 $ each... usually the more you pay the brighter they are. And to do the center console, it takes about 9, if you have cruise, mirror, and roof, that's another 3 and one more for the power windows, so if you get 15 you should be good if you have all these options... plus you have a few just incase!

And if you want neons, those are about 25 to 30$ each(i have 2 in the front hooked up to one switch and one in the back hooked up to a different switch), i got those in an electronics shop as well. You'll also need a switch (3-5$)

As for the reverse gauges, like i said earlier, got those on ebay, you can find some similar ones on there too!

i could probably do one in an afternoon if you help me... i'm guessing we can do 2 in a day if all goes smoothly and we have help. There are probably others in Ottawa that can help out! i think baller did it to his as well.
