Re: MK2B dials into blue

i think it involves replacing the led's in the dials themselves. so if you are handy with the olde soldering iron then you could be in luck.

www.ultraleds.co.uk may have the right size you need (i think that was the site )

Re: MK2B dials into blue

there are LED's you can get on ebay for em, coz i was looking at a set with diffrent LED's included in em, it said they needed soldering up and things.

lucky for you, there are no lockwood or any aftermarket dials for the mk2b i want the sporting dials white background but no joy for the 2B
