that looks awesome mate
very well done
would any colour LED work?
sorry if thats a stupid question but i think some have different resistance, and require different power?

its easy to get them back on where they were, just note where there lined up 2 before u take them off then when u put them back on turn the bit the needle goes onto back untill it stops and then push the needle back on lining it up to the place it was before u took them off
make sure u pull the speedo and revs one off with ur fingers and make sure u use plyers to pull the other ones off coz if not u will brake them

got my leds today but my god there small lol, i should be having a go tomorrow
Best way to get the needles off is to use two spoons one either side and lever them up at the same time so applying the same pressure either side

Careful if your using cutlary without paying full attention, if i had a dime for every bolt & nut iv eaten... id be able to afford to repace them all again
Im gonna give this a bash as soon as i can get a hold of my mates solderin iron.
Race ya

thats will only work on the speed and rev needles but its a very good method i used it on my punto gt when i did them, i was gona do it with mine but couldnt get a good feel for it so used my fingers to pull it instead so i could feel the resistance etc... the oil, petrol and coolant temp needles will definatly need pulling with plyers as shown in my pics as there is nothing for the spoon to go under apart from the start of the needle which is to easily broken
