LED DIALS GUIDE
1) Remove the dials from the vehicle
2) remove the outer case by pulling the clips back
3) remove the dial needles. this is done buy just pulling the speed/rev ones off with ur hand, for the other ones use some plyers and be carefull, also note where the needles are set.
4) now the dial transfers can be removed
5) spin the unit over and unclip he circuit board
6) you now need to desolder the old leds and resolder the new ones on. take your time and use some tweesers to help as there small and fiddley
7) once there all done test the unit to make sure they all work
8) refit and admire your handy work
