Price is steep and importantly, the workmanship must be good as it is quite a difficult job especially the LED in speedometer and air-con switches, not easy to change the LED.

Just something to note: For the aircon console, ensure that wider angle LEDs are used, else it will not look gd. Also the plastics melt very very easily, for those who are doing, there will be slight damage done internally which u will not see. jemjem

ha, my fren ask me help him ask den in end go and do it himself.
he did it for arnd $250. changed e dash(red&white), center console, all the widown lights with the locking lights. the intensity of the dash lights can be adjusted hence the extra cost.
said the job will take bout 4h, but cuz he did his head lamps too, total damge on the clock took bout 5h.
really really a beautiful job, seeing the lights, really can forget about how much he spent! ha, invest in eye candy!

Unless a separate circuit is being built like the one i built for my speedo clustor, there is no need for any special module to enable dimming to any part of the lightinigs if the leds are directly replaced.. jemjem

Note:
junh's buddy who did his internal lights and spray headlights is now known as: frasier.
Haha finally remembered my old password and nick.
Anyway, what my bro here (junh) was talking about is that Alex's package price for changing the interior lights does not include changing the light adjustor's lights. It also does not include the changing of the demistor switch light as the AT panel lights. So, Alex charge me more for those 3 items lor..
Total damage for interior lights + spray headlights is mid 300s, but i would say that the cost is very worth it.
I must say that the standard of his work is very very good, and I'm still excited everytime i switch on the car's interior lights. I'm likely going to return there many more times.
