its really not that hard at all to do both, you just need a little soldering knowledge, this was my first attempt at soldering so it cant be that hard. its just 2 leds for the a/c and one a piece for the vents, but ive seen multiples for the vents. all in all its pretty easy to do.

I did my clock using the article below:

It wasn't that hard as long as you were using the proper soldering equipment. Note: Make DARN sure that the LEDS are facing the correct way (polarity). Surface mount soldering a bit more of a challenge than just normal soldering. Need any tips? MSG me and I will help ya with this as well.

Looking at emfomas pics brings up a problem I had as well. If you look closely at the AC temp gauge you'll see that the red section is not illuminated. I had the EXACT same problem. I have no idea why the light won't pass through the red portion. I swear the stock light passed through but I be darned if I can't get the LED's to pass. This happened wether I was using blue or green LEDS (so I know it isn't light related). Anybody got any clues? Does the red just not illuminate at all?
