Here are my 2 cents.
-The bulbs listed on the original post does not include the bulbs for "Cruise Control" and "Rear Defrost" buttons.
-It took me about an hour and half. If I were to do it again, it will probably take about 30-45 minutes. So this is a fairly quick DIY.
-Tools you need are various size of flat head screw drivers (to pry out plastic covers on top of speedometer and unscrew the bulbs out), a philips screw driver, and a 12mm socket wrench.
-There are 4 bolts that you unscrew with 12mm socket wrench. These are secured with some Hercules power so keep that in mind. I used impact wrench with 3 inch extension.
Hope that helps!

Would also like to add that Qube Engineering has excellent instructions and pictures on how to get to the dash bulbs:

Wish I knew that before I took on this DIY.
FYI, the exact DIY needed for this project is at this link: http://www.qube-engineering.com/Documents/Qube'sLEDGaugeClusterInstructionsAP1_v1.1.pdf

No, I messaged the first poster not long ago, he mentioned that he had posted up on a previous server that is currently down and those pictures are no longer coming back. Goodluck, it is still a work in the process for me as well, needing to replace those dash lights. I'll come back and re-read this thread, and find those bulbs to fix those lights that arent working. hopefully sometime end of winter/spring.
Any updates with PICTURES, pleas share!!

They (obviously) provide a full LED-based solution, but not something where you'd plug the bulbs in yourself.
No, I am not affiliated with Qube Engineering.
