    Two irons is the easiest. I bent an extra tip about 90 degrees to not have to bend up the LCD screen.

    Are you getting the 1206 surface mount LEDs for the radio?

    On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being I can turn a screw driver, 5 being I can do plug and play all day, and 10 being Holy Sh!T my truck is on fire...where does this mod fall?

    I hate the blinding white lights so I am seriously tempted to do this.

    Does this require you to re-calibrate the needle to read properly? I have done a led swap on a Eclipse before and I had to re calibrate my needles because they were all off.

    you physically do that...as in before removing them zero them out and put a piece of tape down, mark it with a pen or marker to know where it sits.
    then remove
