LED lights for dash

Hi

Anyone upgraded there speedo and clocks to white LED?

I have purchased a kit from speedofixer this morning and wondered what the fitting was like? I have been told it requires some soldering and others have said it's simple bulb swaps?

Thanks

Ollie

Re: Some niggles

Hi X5sport

I did have a look around the engine bay the other night and checked hoses, but I will take the engine cover off and have a proper nose about and make sure everything is secure and tight

I will let you guys know the outcome
