So... You shipped it to a guy who has a coneticuit phone number, a email address with a company in conneticuit, and the address is in Virginia? And used a money order...
I'm not saying that was a stupid thing to do, but perhaps you're a but too trusting with information presented to you that's phishy.
That's why I said in my post to use PayPal, since you can usually get a fix if **** goes down.
Time to hit eBay and find another tach.
Sorry dude.

Reviving thread because i am doing Blue/White on my 2013 Countryman S....
Started last night but only had a few whites and didn't have any blue so i did the needles red for now and haven't done anything to the info panels yet.
Also took some shots of where the LED's are located on the board for anyone who might need them. Link in sig to my thread where those are.

Been following this thread with great interest and because of this i have done my own dash lighting. Here is my speedo.....
And rev counter.....
As you can see ive done my needles in red, alternating blue and white on the numbers and white LCD displays. Now i have a question, ive got a facelift MFSW and wondered what LEDs i need for the buttons?
Ive searched everywhere and im at a total loss now. I thought they were 0603's, but they are way too small :(

Holy crap I want your redline! Anyone willing to do this I have an 02 MCS'S with nave and have always wanted white gauges/blue needles or blue gauges/red needles
Currently in Northeast Ohio, will buy a second gauge pod for the swap!

Here ya go! Finished the Speedo completely! Used white paint on the gas/temp/tach needles and blue sharpie for the speed. Also did the toggle bank! Then I noticed there were LED's at the bottom of it, going to change those to white, I want to do the cigarette outlet blue on the inside the the ring around it in white if it's possible, if not then just blue!
Speedo:
Toggle Bank:
(Didn't even scratch off the orange paint on the inside, the LED's shine through!)
Other LED's I found!
I noticed that there are two of them facing down that are soldered on but there is an open space in between the two that doesn't have an LED on it, is one supposed to be there? I wish I would have taken a picture!

Wow, really old post. I did this when I was 15. I recommend you do it yourself.
