The dash is fine for DIY, but removing the guages would be risky of you never done it before.

+1 on that. I did the dash easily but when I attempted the gauges, I took one look at them and decided to put everything back together and call it a day.

LEDs are fairly cheap (got everything for under $50) and all you need for removing old LEDs and installing new LEDs is a soldering gun, maybe some solder if you need it, and some tweezers. But fairly assess your ability to solder and work with these tiny LED's before you take things apart. If you're not confident enough, definitely ask LED_guy for help, or any other member who is knowledgeable with this mod. There are a few other members who have done this mod on their own and came out with great results.

Whatever you decide, goodluck!
