*********** does it and they have one locally in southern cali in fullertion and in LV... they charge 700 bucks starting depending on what kind of LEDs you want. They also said it take 4 to 6 hours... Way too much considering LEDs like that would only cost a few cents.

Hey all.. Thanks for the comments.. Yes they do dim like the original lights did. Bought most of my leds from oznium.com and garage1217.com... And ya I did diconnect the battery when I did the steering wheel lights. It only took me about 6hrs, so not too bad. Yes $700 bucks is a ton to do this.. I wouldnt pay that.

The pink start button is my fav part!

Total cost was prob around $60 for the leds.. Of course I ordered extra knowing I would prob loose a few.. I hope to write one up soon.. Just super busy right now.

Looks awesome but it must have been time consuming.
