have you soldered a lot before? cause i have done a tiny bit..but would have more confidence if someone else has done it with only about the same experience as i have..
this is a mod i would love to have..as it is one that i get to see everyday!!

How much time would you estimate to complete the entire project including replacing the LED's in center speedo and pulling everything apart and putting it back together?
