WELL... i installed new blue LED'* in 2 of the 3 bad spots shown here
Name: DSC00632.jpg Views: 9 Size: 50.0 KB

they dont work... neither does the display screen.. same as before...

there are 3 bulbs behind the screen, 1 of them works, 2 of them dont

at least i have the wires longer so i can keep taking it apart easier :*

WOW! Tech pics, I feel comfy w/Soldering iron but hate tearing into newer dashs and components. I always seem to snap little plastic pieces that cant be fixed. and now that I see this ........red lites arent so bad, I can live with red.....Good luck Harofreak and keep us visually informed.
