Twist & pull, ..., super-easy.
Buy the LEDs that fit into the stock receptacles, & push & twist back in.
Macewen Gauges webpages shows LED's for sale also.

The gauges are very nice, it is just a small issue that bugs me about them. Its not a big deal for most
That comes down to installation. Sometimes we had a bad die cut but now all done in house so it just comes down to you putting it on in the right place (we make the factory pin holes oblonged now so you can adjust for factory discrepancies)...

installed with some crazy LEDs, whatever was recommended in some post i was reading at the time months ago.

...i just hope you have about 2 months to wait for them. 6LE is a better product, but these are the best 2nd place! lol...

With the 3 sets that I have ordered (05-10) over the years the longest wait I had was 2weeks for one set.
