yes, clock display is easy.

I have also done the stereo and all the switches on a mates car, just got to do the speedo to finish it off.

Easy. get the correct leds and they are a direct replacement. Cant tell you the type off top of my head, but you need to get exactly the right package surface mount led.
 
You need someone who is a dab hand at electronics.
The surface mount LED kits are available from the eBay.

Should cost in total around £100 if someone else does it for you.

Its around a max price of £42 for all leds, then whatever labour charge is.

i brought some of the leds from ebay, and am good at soldering, but i haven't attempted it yet as they led's are tiny. i am waiting to get a cheap speedo of ebay and change that one then stick it in my car incase i screw up mine, so if anyone has a spare speedo and wants me to have a go, send it to me, and i'll stick the leds i have in it, and send it back to you for £20 ? but no guarantees i won't bust it ;)

Sorry got a bit carried away there lol :quiet: Not sure how much they are I know they got them off fleabay though. I think Adam got them else I would check on the account for you.
 
Dont do a mk1 with bulbs like I did, they look slightly blue but are too dim. I keep meaning to put some brighter ones in.
