iv never seen it done matey

they are surface mount L.E.D's

a bit of a job to desolder I would have thought

W8 light is a little tricky, requires good soldering skills and a screwdriver

Is the dash lights not a dash out job? Or just part of it?

if you buy the appropriate connectors for the w8 light its fairly simple. If your car has an alarm tho, the connector fouls on the alarm sensor so you will have to solder the wires to get around it.

Outta interest, anyone with a W8 light... how did u get your light to stayed fixed in the roof? The screw holes dont line up with the ones that are from the original light!
