    Fantastic, I look forward to that.

    I've used both the single LED's and the "4 LEDs" in several vehicles and I've found the single LED's to work better actually. You'll notice the ones I used have conical indent in them, this spreads the light out wider and it also comes out the sides as well. They spread the light out VERY well and the there's not one noticable hotspot in my conversion, that's why I opt'd for those.

    Thanks mcnab! Definitely something anyone can do, if they have the will. It's not something that requires a lot of skill. Thanks for the great How To!

    Very very nice. Thank you for sharing. I have always been wanting to do the LED conversion and have seen the Japanese to change all the interior light sources. That's was very impressive.

    Anyway, great job, well done. 8) --- time the put the sun glasses on...so so bright :wink:

    Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in the article when I explain that part. What I meant to say was plug the 3 connectors in the back and keeping putting 1 bulb in at a time. There' enough room that you can keep the 3 connectors plugged in and keep popping bulbs in the back, so you don't have to actually undo the cluster everytime you put a bulb in.

    REgarding the centre console guages, I don't actually know since I dont' have a GT-R. Perhaps someone with a GT-R could pop it out and tell us what bulb size they are (194 or 74) or maybe even another size.
