    Dealer won't do it. You have to open up the gauges and the dash paneling, unsolder the original LEDs, resolder new ones, etc. It'll void the warranty on your electrical system.

    If you don't give a hoot, there's a site that sells a DIY kit, & he'll also install for a fee. Unfortunately I don't remember the site...

    it's not a plug and play you still have to go through the whole sodering thing but you can get some pretty cool guages with a whole rack of different colors. you can see some examples at LEDmod.com. i figure if your going to go through all the trouble of changing the bulbs might as well get a whole new set-up
