Here are the photos:

While I was back there, I upgraded the idiot leds (alternator, oil) to
brighter versions, and changed my clock to 24 hour mode using instructions
I found posted by David Beierl a few years back.

As Jarrett mentioned, the only downside I could imagine seeing in this is
that dash lights are soldered to wires and so require a quick soldering to
install / reinstall.  But I expect the leds to last a long time so a I
really don't mind this.

I love that the whole thing is now a bundle of wires, easily serviced if it
somehow got damaged.
