$121 out the door for the guages. I went out and bought a soldering iron to hook up the new leds. i had no prior experience doin it. took me about an hour to do, granted the cluster was already pulled...

Well i work at a dealership and they said they would do it for free haha lucky me. Is there a switch to turn the led's on? or do they just come on when you turn ur driving lights on when it's dark?

you actually remove the stock cluster lights and solder on the new leds where the old ones were. so they come on whenever your lights are on.

i know the custom colors take more time...but they are a great company and IMO have a great turnaround time...your gonna love the product. Just be patient, they are well worth the wait.
