really easy to do. all 4 dials just plug into the control box and then 2 wires off that to the headlight switch. took me about 15- 20 mins tops to get them in and working hardest part is stuffing the wires somewhere which is easy to do anyway there well worth putting in. plenty of people ask me where i got them .

wot colour dash bubs would work best with the white lockwood dials,i fancy doing them blue but some people say they will look blurry because they shine through the white part of the dials too instead of just the numbers

get some plazma ones there not hard to fit at all and they work out the same as buying blue bulbs and white dials anyway and you can change the colour and make them darker shades of blue. im pleased with mine all u do is stick it over the old dials and plug in probably easier than changing the bulbs
