He removed the gauges and opened them up ... Swap the old stuff for new LEDs. He can put LEDs on anything. And any color ... He was real careful with the car and gauges also. Everything works like normal . Also you get a 10 year warranty on his work. He did my hummer H2 also. And rebuilt the dash on that cause the gauges were sticking
