Really easy to do. The only hard part I found was attaching the speedo cable back on.
Sometimes you have to turn the bulbs 180 degrees, to light up. Something to do with the polarity.

I used to have the blue leds, now ive put in white dial kit with white leds. A better look, I think

easy on the scooby mate ive done it on a vectra before was a pain, at the top of your surround and bottom there are 4 screws in all then unclip your connectors ie rear heater switch etc, then all you have then is your dials you have 2 screws at top and bottom again then out it comes, you just have to get your hand round the back from underneath to put back in your speedo cable.............

Ok just nipped out and took these on my mobile phone, not the best but you get the idea.










I know theres only the main dials done on my speedo cluster. I wanted a different look, a bit of contrast between the smaller dials and larger dials.

The reason why changed from the blue leds to the white dials & white leds, is the blue leds didnt look right to me. They gave a blue glow across the whole speedo unit instead of just the dials. Look at mickywrx pic to see what I mean

I've got an alloy dash panel from CDF fitted too, which may make it more visible in the pic.

Had the white LED's, found them to be not that bright compared to the blue.
