I agree with you . Im going with bright 194 for the gauge lighting.... you recommend any? but I WILL ADD LEDS UNDER THE NEEDLES. Its not to hard to do. And you do not have to remove the needles.

Yes there is a how too for this. This mod requires a lot of patience. You will need to buy yourself a soldering iron along with solder. Can be had at local lowes or home depot. Follow the how 2 and you'll be fine.

Try harder. http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...-leds-mod.html

Found in 30 seconds.

There is also this newfangled thing called google, maybe you have heard of it? Easy way to find a ton of info. LED lights are not unique to Maxima's...
