Yup you should. All brushed one (paid) was sent, waiting for 2 payments to clear. Apologizes for mirror boys, today was first day in 2 weeks time I had day off and could polish mirror dials additionally, because some of them had some holograms and little transport scratches. All paid mirror ones will be sent tommorow, so should be at your place at Saturday. Mind you, it is recorded delivery, so someone will have to sign for.

 

TNT - I did not send yours, I will PM you tommorow, when I will know, which day will be my day off after Sunday.

I'm impressed with effect on white bulbs :) I had occasion to see those dials only with blue led conversion lights :) Looks very, very nice I'm happy to see you are satisfied :) There is blue gel included in pack I sent you so you can put it onto odometer and clock to match rest of the car :) Thanks for i-trader rating too :)

Converting your heating controls will be right PITA at first, but if you are experienced with solder iron, you should be allright :) Actually I say, leave white bulbs and just convert rest to blue leds. Dials led lights are hard to set properly and even when you will put them properly, they will still more focused in certain areas, where as normal bulbs giving nice even light.

There are 3 connectors on back of the dials, those are pretty tight plugged, you have to pull then firm but be carefull with knuckles :D Other cables I can think of are those from speed delimiter, you will have to unscrew 3 screws from back of dials to release cables. If you are REALLY desperate, you can always visit Wolverhampton, my hands are small and I can fit them behind dials :p

Oh and pulling out connectors is easy, putting them back is more fiddly. You will discover all new cursing words :D

I was not sarcastic! But now another one. When you took off dials, did you also get rid of green gel covers from all background lights to make them brighter? ;)
