I can get a spare set and code it to my car. If I wad to come to you, how long does it take to desolder and solder the led's?

Sorry to butt in, but I have a midline tdi 962 cluster going if anyone wanted to use them for this purpose, can also code them in to 04-early 06 cars.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

The desoldering and resoldering takes about a hour and a half

The most time consuming thing is the actual dismantling to expose the leds

Over all it takes around 2-3 hours if u want the speedo doing not including the midline/ highline screen that alone takes a hour

I definitely want mine done in white without the screen done. Ill be coming up to midlands end of september to see the in laws so can pop by to you and get them done.

Ill put in a temporary set of clocks so that the original ones are already out to save time
