The Speedo and heater panel need to be taken apart and new LEDs soldered in.
If you're not handy with a soldering iron then you're probably best just swapping them out for OEM units and selling your current ones

You'd easily get them in the forum marketplace on here mate. Does require you to be a member though to gain access.

If you swapped the speedo out, you'd need to find one with similar miles on to your current one as the mileage is stored in the speedo

Ah right mate, I'll get a membership tomorrow. I'll look for some bulbs mate, I'll be able to solder them on. Just wondered if there was any sort of orange aspect required?

I think there's an orange filter in front of the LCD displays. It was a small opaque diffuser that had an orange coating on, that you had to sand the orange coating off to swap colours.

If yours still has a slight orange tint to it, then whoever did it may not of sanded the coating off so you'll be ok to just swap back to orange LEDs
