I tried to take out the middle one out once again, and it is welded in place or something! It will not move! It turns, but won't pop out. I jiggled, I twisted, I pried!!! Maybe my hands aren't strong enough. That happens some times... I will ask a big man to try it.....and watch, he will get it on the first try! Figures!! haha!!

Damn man, those look very good. Can see the blue/red colors on the dials too. Hmm..making me wonder if I should get white instead of green. White would match the speedo good, but green is better with my head unit.

i think white is the way to go, the colored ones dont seem to look as good, maybe its becase of the color of the dials

There are 6 different colors shown: Blue, Super White, Red, Amber, Green, UV
The lights are $2.99 ea. You need two of them.

well, i dont feel like reading this whole thread, so im not sure if this was mentioned yet or not, but you dont need to remove the cream colered piece on the back, just use a flat head screw driver to back out the old bulbs and put the new leds in. oh, and there is a 50% chance you will get the leds in the wrong way, if they dont work(like what happened to me) just swith em around
