If you know how to solder: not much. If you don't know how to solder: just a little more than not much. It just takes some time. Total cost in LEDs is probably <$10, and that's if you get really nice LEDs. Mine were from a batch I ordered off a Chinese vendor on ebay a couple years ago to do another project. I only needed 3 for speedo, 3 for tach, and 1 each for gas and coolant temp, so 8 PLCC2 3528 LEDs total.

@Hachiroku how hard was it to do? Been eyeballing the same setup since I miss the sharp cutoff my old cars retrofit had.
