Default new dash led installed

just installed my leds for the gauges and a/c controls. I am a little dissapointed in the a/c lights (to dim) but the gauges are really bright.

just take apart the dash, remove the gauges with 4 screws, just take out the stock bulbs and put in the leds. a simple plug n play.

i used these for the gauges. you also need to buy the wedge socket sold at the same site.
