parts needed: 12x wide angle white LEDs, 12x resisters (i used 750 ohm 1/2 watt), soldering iron & solder, 7 MM nut driver, roughly one half to one hour of time depending on skill level
How big are the LED's though? 3mm, 5mm??

Looks good, I'm still not sure if I like the orange needles or or white (which glow bright blue) like mine.

How did you clear the needles? Rubbing alcohol?

i used 3mm but 5mm LEDs should work better. got mine from All Electronics. i think anything in the 2000 MCD range should be sufficient.

I can't quite explain it, but there's something about my Ford, I just can't part with it.
Might be because I bought it off my father when I was 17, but I don't know.
