Yeah doing the door ones isn't hard, but they're so dim most people don't even bother.

OK folks, because of a lot of recent inquiries into having these LED swaps done, I'm going to post standard pricing for all my work. A full LED swap takes up to 3 HOURS to do. Please keep this in mind before complaining about the price. Try getting a plumber to do 3 hours of labor for that amount of money

Gauges: $85 including LED's
HVAC (red/green): $95
HVAC (white/blue): $125
Steering Wheel: $25

All prices include removal/reinstallation.

OH! and hey, Squall - you probably figured this out by now, but if you toss a red & blue LED on the top portion of the dial circuit, you get a cool gradient effect:

only way to void a warranty is if that bulb or circut causes something else to fail. If he worked the circuit pattern out correct things should be fine. Im going to let him comment on this.

The warranty would be void on your gauges and hvac controls, obviously. That being said, the gauge cluster and hvac lighting are on the same physical circuit (meaning both the gauges and hvac both have to be plugged in for the backlighting to work). I'm pretty sure they're isolated from the rest of the electrical system, so I strongly doubt a dealer could claim it messed anything else up.

I haven't heard of a single instance where an LED swap caused a warranty issue.

Anyway if you want to see what it looks like, i'll go to the Paramus meet (wasn't aware there was one!)
