I didn't mess with the circuit board. That was to risky for me.lol. I just cut it and then wired the leds to the leads. there wasn't much there to work with.

The ones i used are on a strip. There isn't much room in there so you need something thin. My brother had ordered them a while back and never used them. he gave them to me. I have a total of 20 little LED Lights in the gauge cluster. Works great. My friend came by and took a look at it and loved it. I can't wait to get the rest of the leds i ordered. Im doing the whole inside. I think i have about 20-25 leds coming.

Yea, it would be handy if you could list exactly what led's you ordered and a rough overview of exactly what needed to be done, looks nice though.

Looks cool but much dimmer now. Are you going to match the rest of the center stack controls (Climate/Radio, etc.) too?

I dont mind the stock light green colour on the dash but this is so much nicer/classy, its the radio and climate green (aka corolla green lol) light that really bugs me.
