LED dash lights

Has anyone installed LED lights in thier dash? I just recieved a kit from NPD, and after reading the directions, Im not sure that I want to make the change. The directions say to cut the springs in half, (they force the the lamps into position)! I realy don't want to hack up my harness.

Thanks, Mark

NPD has a great return policy.

I installed an LED kit I got from an ebay seller; Hipoparts I think is the brand (or the seller, can't remember). No mods required however, the bulbs don't sit that well in the sockets so I can understand the 'cut the springs' mod needed. The bulbs sit well enough in the sockets and I have had no problems in the several years they've been installed.

A very nice improvement but 'hot spots' can be seen, ie, it's brighter where the bulbs are because they don't cast light as well as an incadesent (sp?) bulb. I had a choice of colors and I chose green because it seemed to suit the 'vintageness' of the car.
