   on 106's you have to remove the hole dials.. and the led's on some are soldered and others just twist out...

   there is a guide for the led type dials mate
   
   but with yours there bulb type so would need blue bulbs or whatever colour your after and you will also need some differnt dial faces iirc as theres a filter on the standard ones
   
   think the lockwood ones have a clear filter
   
   or you could go for some plasma dials like mine, get them from www.visual-performance.co.uk
