I knew how to solder and desolder but never SMD parts so it was new (i am an electrical engineering student so i love trying stuff like this and took the risk ) but i ended up frying my JDM DD board so i had to replace it. As far as DIY theres a couple on this forum, search AccordFreak or sexyrob, they both have a good amount of pictures of the process.

AccordFreak-do you by anychance still have the 05+ gauges?
i have the 05 gauges but it's not installed in the car.

OP... Very good job, looks great!

That light combo with the number increments is tight, but should have done the same for the Temp/Gas Gauges, km/h, along with the Clock too.

Also switch up the coloring of the Compass/Temp & Mileage Displays into white like the background of the Clock, with Blue Numbers & Letters & whatnot, so it's not 2 blue looking colors.

Plus make everything else that's Orange into Red like the Redline.

How's the light output compared to the stock LEDs? Blue is much nicer but from my experience with doing this you have to increase the luminosity to to be able to see it as well as the original orange. Great job btw, I love the two-tone blue-white.

The light output is pretty good(just about stock, maybe a little dimmer), i have the turning wheel for luminosity set up to the click before max, same as with stock leds. When its really dark outside i have to turn down the brightness because the white is reallly bright

Are the dash bulbs 74s? I'm thinking about doing this project and buying bulbs from Autolumination.

they are not bulbs, they are small led chips on a computer board. you will need to solder/desolder
