   Im not sure on MK1s, but i know for sure they dont fit MK2s. Theyre plcc LEDs.

   Yeah, its taking apart a lot of fiddly bits from the dash, and then some very delcate soldering. Its easy if you take your time, but i recon you ned a whole day to do it properly if your not a whizz with the soldering iron.
   
   Id say first time you do it, an hour minimu to get the dials out carefully, 4-5 hours for soldering the leds, 30 mins for re fitting.

   The time, burns, blood and tears are really worth it because they look great when you've finished

   lol at snewham
   
   there pretty easy to do if you have patience and a steady hand
   
   you will need a soldering iron, solder, and some tweezers also a piece of paper to make not of which way the led was, positive side on the plcc2 smd leds are determined with a bit chopped off the corner
   
   its also best to keep testing the led each time you put one in, just connect it up and turn the sidelights on
   
   probablies take a good few hours as there quite fiddly
