They look awesome!!!
Really set it off nicely...
One question about the LEDs...

Don't the dash's have a orange cover that makes the orange colour show on the dash... this is hidden behind the service lights bit... did you remove this? And whay colour led's did you use?
I was going to do it...but wasn't sure if i wanted to remove that orange bit, as want to keep the dash stock for now....also I like the orange dash!

Once again.... looks really nice... good job!!!!

na to be honest mate, Changed out the bulbs and took out the orange plastic to allow blue light to transfer through. Also added another 501 tot eh centre of the clocks to allow a better light.

Also i added 2 led bars one either corner to give more light on the front of the dials so i cna see my red needles. I tap'd the led bars intot he dash lights so i cna adjust the brightness on them aswell as the dash
