The HVAC-panel uses two T5 bulbs, you need flattop or concave

LED-replacements if you want an even spread light in the panel.

The speedo uses 3 PLCC2 SMD LEDs, revcounter 2.

Replacing them involves taking the entire thing apart.

The radio uses 44 SMD LEDs size 1206, involves

taking the entire front faceplate apart.

I have a bit of experience with these modifications, but still it takes me

about 3 hours to do a radio and little under 2 for a speedo and revcounter.

You need to be pretty handy at soldering and some specialist tools are

a definate plus to have (a desoldering pistol or lead-sucker) as you

need to desolder 47 contacts on the radio display and 26 for the speedo.

If you don;t get all the tin/lead out you'll end up with a broken display

end you really need to take ESD into account too: I allways ground myself

with a special bracelet and don't touch anything I don't need to touch.

There should be a topic on here (in which I did a

translation fron Danish), but I can't find it right now...

And here's the topic I meant about chaniging the dash illumination:

The radio isn't described anywhere, I had a spare radio

that I just took a gamble on. Luckily that turned out fine...
