LED's are a pain in the ass & cause bright spots & dark spots on the dials..
I paid about $90 for mine (i think) from ebay & it is one of the best value mods I have done.. seeing as they're the main thing you look at when you are driving it's well worth it.
The only reason I would ever change them is if KMC released a set of Red EL glow dials to match my planned interior colour scheme .. If he doesn't I will be making up a set of Red glow dials myself..

KMC had some for sale briefly back in 2006/early 07, then I never saw them on his site again.
I emailed him asking availability of these, was told he had 1 pair left in stock.
Hope you can track another set down.

Oh so they are not 'EL' Glow dials? Just red face? I'm after a set that light up red @ night instead of blue - there's a guy on the FTOOC site that has a set of black face dials with RED 'EL' glow numbers etc, but they were custom made once offs

Yea I did say red v4
Really couldn't find other red ones so had to go with these, look pretty good although EL would be better, still happy with these

v4 = old led style....no go IMO...but red looks sick

Yea, I really needed red dials since I'm going the whole black and red theme, white doing would really be out of place

I want ones that match my smoked auto meter gauges... Black with a real bright white ...
I put in the white LED's but they just don't look the same ...
