    By tips do you mean you'll do it for me?:rofl: My concern is just messing up the tach and not having any working lights. Probably be more comfortable doing it on a spare...may just have to keep an eye out for one

    :laughing: wouldnt be the first time I do a swap while in Vegas...

    If you've done some soldering before chances are you should be fine doing the swap.
    What color scheme are you looking to do?

    Goin off that thread tho, its more of a custom job...obviously it wont be easy to change out the lights if I want leds. Any experience with ac control lights gone bad and just doing a simple replacement?

    When you pull the stock bulbs out of the back of speedometer do you have to melt the existing solder, remove the bulb, then attach the led with the existing solder or just completely re-do it?
