Thanks

I ended up doing them myself. In the process I broke the volt gauge when removing the needle. Replaced with digital gauge ( ebay). Also put new faces on the gauge fronts looks great with led bulbs.

Can you give some info on the led light swap and a link to the digital volt gauge you used.

On the 12v gauges ebay item 142042914502 this one was the most accurate but more work to install. And 161014971759 not hard to install. And I got the bulbs from superbrightled.com look up bulbs for spedo and tack and removed metal scields that you do not need with led bulbs . I used bA9s for tack and spedo. Put a black dab of silicone on the top of bulb so you don't have a bright spot.
