So I have finally got around to finishing my LED dash conversion and repainted dash.
To keep reading down to a minimum I will explain in very short terms.

A year ago I did a "LED conversion" - completely stuffed it and have been very angry ever since.
About 3 months ago pulled everything apart and decided to do it from scratch, and i mean scratch.

Mods I wanted included:
- Individual AC control LED's for each button, rather than just a single colour for all. for example
Blue = AC
Red = Rear demister
and so on.
- Bright blue LED light for the instrument cluster (not replacement LED globes as that creates bright spots across the dash but an even spread of light across the dash like in modern cars)
- When the car hits 4000 RPM the instrument cluster lights change from blue to red
- Respray the dash dark grey (I previously did it black and did a poor job of it)

Rather than explain all the steps involved I thought pictures say a thousand words, enjoy.
