You can't use LED's on the clocks as the light isn't uniform. You can swap the neutral/fuel/main beam for LED's but its not a 2 second job unless you have the fairing off, and even then 1 x 10mm led doesn't provide the same light output for each.

If that is so, can you please explain the link above....

I'm pretty sure on the FI models LEDs are what provide the backlight for clock and screen. 8 of them, according to the description for the replacement ones.

thats what I thought.. the only other option is to put a filter behind the window, but me thinks that would be poo

People have already done this and said it doesn't work, I'm only going off other peoples comments. To get the light uniform you need a transparency deflector (like what mobile phones use).
