I also might consider doing this in the near future if we can all get a shop that can do it.

Everything said and done- it probably cost me somewhere close to $400. That is including M3 back plates, needles, silver rings, and the LED upgrade. The needles were the most expensive and the hardest to find.

holy sh** $400? silver rings on ebay are $22 bucks the needles arent that expensive id chance it with someone who can do it on the side instead of taking it to a shop where they want to charge you an arm and a leg.

180 only charged me $160 for the LED upgrade. The needles are VERY hard to find. When I found them I was charged accordingly($100). It is real easy to mess up the glass on the cluster. With that in mind make sure the person knows what they are doing.

So can they get the things for you or you need to buy them and take it to them?

No, I bought everything and gave it to them.

What is the list of things you need and where to get?

[benzy89]

Does anyone know if Tischer has the needles, backplate or gauge rings?? The LED's are prob gonna be the easiest thing to find at a reasonable price...

Anybody want to try calling this 180 place and seeing if we could get a group buy/discount if he does the work on everyones?

i might wind up doing it myself, i have a solder and ive done soldering before it doesnt look tough at all and im pretty handy when it comes down to little details like this job.

It's time consuming. But fun.

Also for some reason I can't get the gas gauge to light up, all other LEDs are lighting up at their max output, anyone have any insight to this ?
