WTB LED swap in my guages

I would like to PAY someone to swap LED's into my guage cluster. I attempted to take it apart today and look it over to begin the mod, but decided that I would end up F-ing everything up if I did it myself lol.

If anyone would like to do this, please give me a price! I am located in California, and will pay shipping both ways.

PS, i would only like people who have already done this before (and know what theyre doing!) to do it for me. Thanks.

Personally I don't really think its all that hard. I'm going through doing this myself right now with a 03 gauge cluster. The hardest part I'm thinking is striping the green off the back of your overlays and repainting them with glass paint. Although I haven't gotten around to the LED swap yet due to a screw up on supperbrightleds part(sent me the wrong flex strips). I'm thinking of trying something a bit different and using a combo of component leds(13,000 mcd ones mentioned in the howto, WLED-BHP5 360 degree 194 plugins, and NFLS-B30 SMD led flexible strips.

Basically it just takes a lot of time to get it right.

Jp7 will probably do it and he does awesome work but he's not cheap.

yeah if anyone could do it he could. Of course depending or not how busy he is though with other projects

I really like his idea of using foil tape and 360 degree leds though.
