Ah, yes, I did use a Phillips Head screwdriver. The main thing was not removing the seat and not needing a deep well socket. I was using a Craftsman socket so other brands may be more shallow.

I have to pull my seat anyway today, so I'm doing this. I bought LED' a year ago.. finally putting them in.
Does anyone know how to determine positive and negative? LED lights have a polarity I read. I'd hate to do trial and error.
Thanks

This is unrelated to all the LED discussion, but I wanted to report how I've made it easier to install and remove the binnacle. Instead of using standard nuts, I've converted over to wing nuts. Now I can undo all the nuts without using tools and diving into the foot well. The wing nuts really simply the whole process. The nut specification is M4 with a 0.7 thread pitch. I found the wing nuts at Ace.

I replaced dash lights with LEDs. Thanks to the detail write ups, I was able to remove dash in about 20 minutes or so. I bought some wing nuts from Homedepot for $0.25 each. I could only use wing nuts for three bolts. Other areas were too difficult to use wing nuts. Entire project took about an hour but my back and neck are killing me. Need a chiropractor service after this.
I used red LEDs but it was not very bright. Plus, green head light indicator was way too bright. I need to get a brighter red LEDs and/or less bright green LED. Overall, I am not happy with the result.
