Jiffylube I THOUGHT they would do a decent job since I needed the gearbox oil changed (I do engine oil myself, but the tranny was too much work) they checked my coolant, said it was good, it was EMPTY in the tank. Lame. Never been back there since. To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.

The 00-02 ones don't have any multicolor led's and that's what would be needed unless they do some sort of trick w/the lcd. but yeah.. you should be able to replace the led's under there... 13 are needed

I can get you people led's, but the wait time is ~ 2 weeks because I just ran out, and will be ordering more as soon as my next batch of gauge faces goes into production.

In the case that you've missed them, in the "Installs" section of this web site, there are about three detailed how-tos under "Interior" for this project, complete with a source for leds.
