I've got the red and blue 'instrument bling' from Chewy's Stuff but haven't got round to fitting it yet as I suspect its going to be quite tricky

As I understand it, the LEDs are surface mount and require quite a gentle solder iron. When reattaching, do make sure that you have them set the right way round or they will not light.

Good luck and do post pics of how you do it, I am most intrigued.
